  Most web information written to aid people who live in wildfire areas is buried within large government sites, and difficult to locate.  The sites listed below address one or more topics related to wildfires.  Some of these sites are short, and others are complex and inclusive. 

Any link that indicates "PDF" requires that your PC have Adobe Acrobat installed to reach the site.  If you do not, you can go to this site to download the free Acrobat Reader:
