In
the aftermath of the Oakland Hills fire in 1991, several public
agencies and private interests wanted to reduce the likelihood
that a similar tragedy would be repeated in Marin.

Marin was formed to promote fire safety and stimulate communities
to collaborate when solving problems related to wildland fire
