Making Communities Safer
Every fire department, regardless of size, type, or location, has the power to make a meaningful impact through CRR. By integrating CRR principles into daily operations, fire departments can enhance public safety, reduce preventable incidents, and ultimately protect the lives of both community members and firefighters. This page is dedicated to raising awareness and providing tools to help departments across California embrace CRR and build safer, more resilient communities.
Get Started with CRR
CRR is more than a strategy, it is a proactive approach to identify hazards through strategic action and evaluation. Learn more about resources available to you below:
Promote new technologies and designs that improve safety, such as fire-resistant building materials or public safety technologies.
Develop and coordinate plans to effectively respond to emergencies when they occur to minimize their impact.
Inform the public about risks and how to prevent them, like fire safety and emergency preparedness.
