Get to know us
At Fast Fire Network, we're redefining how we understand and combat wildfire risk in the western United States. We bring together leading industry partners and community stakeholders to tackle the growing threat of rapid-spreading fires that cause loss of life, homes, and property in and around the Santa Monica Mountains.
Wildfire risk is evolving: fires aren't just getting bigger—they're moving faster than ever before. That's why we're developing a groundbreaking fast fire risk framework that integrates fire speed, human exposure, and social/structural vulnerability. Through open data sharing, AI-enabled tools, working groups, and stakeholder-driven forums, we're co-producing actionable, science-backed solutions to protect communities and build lasting resilience.
Our mission is clear: Deliver innovative, data-driven strategies that save lives and safeguard communities and homes. Whether through cutting-edge research, collaborative innovation, or real-world applications, the Fast Fire Network is committed to turning knowledge into impact.
Our mission
Fast Fire Network (FFN) is the central hub connecting and empowering communities, homeowners associations, fire professionals, and trusted partners in the fight against wildfires. We unite specialized sites, services, and resources into one seamless ecosystem—delivering easy access to expert training, real-time response support, approved gear, collaboration tools, and vetted affiliates.
Our goal: Equip everyone on the front lines with the knowledge, tools, and connections needed to prevent, respond to, and recover from wildfires more effectively—building safer, more resilient communities together.
Our vision
We see a connected ecosystem where homeowners associations, neighborhood groups, fire professionals, emergency responders, trusted gear suppliers, training experts, and community leaders work hand-in-hand—sharing real-time intelligence, proven strategies, vetted resources, and mutual support before, during, and after fire events.
By uniting voices and specialized capabilities into one powerful platform, we eliminate silos, accelerate decision-making, and multiply impact. Together we create, smarter prevention, more effective responses, stronger recovery, and ultimately fewer losses—of homes, lives, and livelihoods.
Our vision is simple: collaborative action that delivers measurably better outcomes for every stakeholder. When we prepare, respond, and rebuild as one unified network, wildfires lose their power to divide and destroy. Instead, communities become more resilient, safer, and more connected.
