In July of 2013, the Milford Community Association was approached by the Lassen County Fire Safe Council, Inc. (LCFSC) to began the process of seeking  “Firewise Communities/USA®” recognition for their community located in Lassen County. Milford lies within a wildland-urban interface (WUI), an area that figures prominently in wildland fire discussions. The Milford area consists of the community of Milford entirely.
