As new technologies emerge to address intensifying wildfires, regional partners saw an opportunity in Incline Village to put these new innovations to the test.
“Can we take all this new technology,” Tahoe Fund executive director, Amy Berry, said, “and use it to identify the mitigations that would matter the most in the neighborhoods, to try to keep neighborhoods as safe as possible?”
The question became the impetus for the Fire Smart Community Pilot in the Tyrolian Village neighborhood to understand how to create more fire ready communities.
