FireSmart
The FireSmart Communities Program is designed to encourage self-organized groups of residents to take the lead in implementing solutions for wildfire safety on their own properties. The program provides people living in wildfire prone areas with the knowledge and organizational means to significantly reduce their neighbourhood’s vulnerability to wildfire. This is achieved by planning and working together with the support of a local wildfire professional. If you are interested in learning more about the program and/or signing up your neighbourhood as a FireSmart Community, see the city’s website for more details.
