A National Fire Prevention Education Team (NFPET) is in place in the Phoenix area to address the most frequent types of human-caused wildfire ignitions affecting Arizona and New Mexico. The team is comprised of professionals from federal, state, and local agencies and will focus on public outreach to traditional, social, and non-traditional media markets, in addition to developing communication materials for local agencies to use during future periods of
elevated fire danger. New outreach strategies will be implemented by the incoming team, working with partners from both states.
