FireSmart is a program that helps residents increase neighbourhood resilience to wildfire and minimize its negative impacts.
From simple tips for homeowners looking to protect their property to community programs led by local experts, everything you need to protect and prepare your home, neighbourhood, or municipality during wildfire season can be addressed by FireSmart principles.
The East Kootenay’s focus on the FireSmart program remains strong. We follow the principles of FireSmart BC and FireSmart Canada to encourage residents to adopt FireSmart practices and reduce the potential for wildfire impacts on their properties.
