FLAME Initiative

Monday, October 20th, 2025

Travis County Emergency Service District No. 2, along with our partners across eastern Travis County, is rolling out the ultimate defense strategy:

The F.L.A.M.E. Initiative is a proactive wildfire mitigation program led by Travis County ESDs 2, 11, and 12, in partnership with the Travis County Fire Marshal’s Office. It brings together community leaders and residents across housing, design, landscaping, and emergency services to reduce wildfire risk throughout eastern Travis County. Built around five key pillars—

  1. Fortify structures
  2. Landscape defensively
  3. Address spark entry
  4. Maintain clean zones
  5. Educate and equip

The initiative provides property assessments, training, and practical strategies to strengthen wildfire resilience. By promoting defensible space, fire-resistant construction, and community collaboration, F.L.A.M.E. helps safeguard homes, improve firefighter and resident safety, and build long-term sustainability across our region.

We’ve put together a one-page summary and a full presentation so you can understand exactly how F.L.A.M.E. works and how you can apply its principles to your own home.
