The Nevada Network of Fire Adapted Communities is a program within the Nevada Division of Forestry that seeks to put Nevadans living in high fire-hazard communities in touch with the resources they need to work towards becoming fire adapted. The Network is funded by the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management.

Living With Fire is an interagency program that is coordinated and managed by University of Nevada Cooperative Extension, an EEO/AA institution, utilizing funding from a Community Assistance Agreement with the Bureau of Land Management – Nevada State Office and a State Fire Assistance Grant from the Nevada Division of Forestry and U.S. Forest Service.
