BUILDING A COMMUNITY PRACTICE OF LIVING WITH FIRE

In a time when people have arguably never been so separated – by politics, pandemic, technology, industrialization – from each other and from the natural world alike, learning to live with fire is creating a connection. Communities everywhere are coming together around a common cause, a spark of hope, a will to make a difference, and a desire to be close, both to each other and to the ecosystems around us. These communities are sparking up all over California. Fire Ambassador, thefirepoppy has had the profound honor and privilege of witnessing and being a part of the community growing here in California’s North Bay Area.

This growing local community is actualizing a much-needed change in the way we approach our relationship with fire. As Director of Fire Forward, thefirepoppy works daily with the mission to support this community’s fireline skills, capacity, safety, and cohesion has been inspiring. During a time when so much seems wrong in the world, this work and this community have become her “raison d’être.” 

The Good Fire Alliance is a grassroots community of partners from around the region working together, through a neighbors-helping-neighbors approach, to reduce fuel loads and return ecosystem stewardship as a cultural practice to these landscapes we hold dear.
