We know Firewise is your favorite website; but when I need to answer some questions or find good examples, I surf around some. My go-to for the latest on local and state level wildfire regulations, vegetation management examples and such is http://www.wildfireprograms.com/ - the National Database of State and Local Wildfire Mitigation Programs.

Recently the Database posted an entry from the Maine State Forest Service. You should really check out Maine's new video on Wildland/Urban Interface. It's a very well-done piece about 15 minutes long, focusing on how homeowners can protect their properties, featuring cameos/interviews with Maine state forest fire staff.

Some other sites I love to visit are regional in nature. The Southwest Colorado Fire Information Clearinghouse is excellent and always up-to-date, and the Sierra Forest Legacy's site is chock full of Firewise goodies. I recommend a recent post, Seasonal Firewise Practices for great examples of how to prepare your home for fire season. More good links can be found at http://www.firewise.org/resources/links.htm.
