The Morrow County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is intended to reduce wildland fire risk to communities and their citizens, the environment, and quality of life within the county. Plan goals are to protect against potential losses to life, property and natural resources from wildland fire, build and maintain active participation from each Fire Protection District, set realistic expectations for reducing wildland fire risk, identify actions for fire protection, access and utilize federal and other grant dollars, identify incentives for fire protection and community participation, promote visible projects and program successes, monitor changing conditions of wildland fire risk and citizen action over time, institutionalize fire-related programs and sustain community efforts for fire protection, and establish and maintain escape route and adjacent corridors.
The Morrow County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is the result of a countywide effort initiated to reduce wildland fire risk to communities and their citizens, the environment, and quality of life within Morrow County. Citizens, fire districts, county staff or elected officials, and agency representatives have worked together to create a plan that would be successful in implementing fuels reduction projects, fire prevention education campaigns, and other fire-related programs. Plan adopted by the Morrow County Court on March 22, 2006.
