The Reno Fire Department (RFD), in collaboration with SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA), announced that the public review period for the draft 2026 City of Reno Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) has begun.
The review period will run through 3 December 2025. A public webinar is scheduled for 19 November.
The 2026 Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is a newer, updated version of a similar plan that was created 20 years ago in 2005.
Officials say the 2026 City of Reno CWPP is a collaborative effort to enhance the safety and resilience of the community from wildfires.
This plan aims to identify and address vulnerabilities while emphasizing the protection of lives, property and valued resources.
Reno Fire Marshal John Beck explained in a statement: “We invite our community to take part in this important step of the CWPP planning process.
“Feedback from our residents is key to creating a plan that meets our community’s needs and provides the most effective fire safety measures for those living in the wildland-urban interface.”
To access the draft plan and participate in the review process, residents can visit the Reno Fire Department’s CWPP main page.
Registration has also opened for the public webinar on the 19 November.
