FireSmart BC Princeton

Wildfire season is not over! In fact, FireSmarting your neighbourhood is more important than ever before. Embers travel in the wind and fall up to 9km from a wildfire starting spot fires. Removing fire fuels from around your home reduces the risk of these embers starting fires in your neighbourhood. Find out what those fuels are by doing your own home assessment today!

It takes everyone from firefighters to government representatives to homeowners to have the best-laid plans in a worst-case scenario. Preparing yourself and you...r community for a wildfire emergency requires a multi-pronged approach. Individuals and agencies need to be ready to react by developing plans, mutual-aid agreements, resource inventories, training and emergency communication systems. All of these make it possible for a community to respond effectively to the threat of wildfires as a whole.
