Fremont County Firewise Plant List
Generally, Firewise plants are ones that are low growing and do not generate a lot of debris such as fronds, leaves or similar material that will act as fuel for a wildfire. Many of these Firewise plants are also higher in moisture content and are not as susceptible to a wildfire as other dryer plants would be. Some species are more likely to survive than others depending on your elevation and climate.
