It is with great pleasure that we welcome Meadowcrest Ridge (Corte Madera) to the growing number of Firewise USA sites, where residents throughout the nation are working to reduce their wildfire risks. Marin county leads California in the number of recognized Firewise sites, and leads the nation in growth of this important program.
