Sunset Firewise Community — named for a well-traveled street in lower Kensington — includes Sunset View Cemetery, a critical emergency evacuation route for our town.
In 2025, we established a Firewise Community to reduce wildfire risk on our properties, collaborate with the Cemetery, and support traffic-safety improvements at the Arlington Avenue–Sunset intersection to help ensure a safe evacuation.

This 15' x 50' slope was overgrown with vegetation, including a huge, hazardous juniper hedge. Flames would threaten both the home and the cars evacuating on Arlington Avenue. It's now been cleared and replanted with less fire-prone plants.
Household Activity Reports ensure Firewise Recognition is renewed annually. They also help shape Kensington's wildfire programs.
Participating households track and report their risk reduction activities online or via email. Contact your organizers for details.
Organizers compile neighborhood numbers and report them to Firewise USA each year. Residents' personal information is never shared.
