We are fortunate to live in a rugged, beautiful place. Living in this place means living with fire as it is not possible to exclude fire from the Western Klamath Mountains. WKRP is a community-based effort to create a more wildfire-resilient future, and is engaging communities to collaboratively plan and take action to safely co-exist with wildland fire. Wildfires on the edges of fire season have been suppressed, while the 3% of fires that escape initial attack in the hottest months of summer burned more than 97% of the landscape. The fire suppression paradigm maximizes the negative impacts of fire at the landscape scale and puts communities and firefighters at greater risk.
