Wildfire Mitigation Program
wildfire


The San Mateo County Parks Wildfire Mitigation Program aims to reduce wildfire risks, enhance fire suppression capabilities, and promote forest health in our parks, focusing primarily on residential border areas known as the wildland-urban interface. The 2025 Wildfire Mitigation Program updates the previously adopted 2021 Wildfire Fuel Management Program.
