Cool-Pilot Hill Fire Safe Council

 

Welcome to the Cool-Pilot Hill Fire Safe Council (CPHFSC) webpage!

CPHFSC – Mission Statement:

CPHFSC is a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing Wildland Fire hazards and improving Fire-safety awareness on The Divide in Cool and Pilot Hill, California.  We foster community involvement by building partnerships and providing resources for mitigating fire danger.

CPHFSC was resurrected in 2020; it appears just in time for a pandemic! The State of California requested all CalFire and CA Firesafe Council to cancel all our events/activities for the Wildfire Simulator and WUI Drill in Cherry Acres, CA.  CPHFSC will be continuing with both events, once CDC and State guidelines allow.

CPHFSC is currently developing an interactive website for residents on The Divide, its currently a work-in-progress, so please check back often.  In the interim, please visit CPHFSC’s on our PSA Facebook page.
