Good timing on this post. Just this past week our @northcowichan.bsky.social council voted to fund a new firesmart/widlfire strategy and hire a wildfire specialist for our North Cowichan fire department. Funding coming from our climate action and energy plan fund.
At the symposium, one message is clear: FireSmart is how we strengthen community resilience. Everyone has a role in protecting their home.

This panel spelled it out: provinces and local leaders must drive a FireSmart future, where work happens before wildfire hits.

#DYK? Small FireSmart upgrades can boost your home’s wildland fire resilience and improve energy efficiency. 🏡

Seal gaps, clean debris, improve vents. All these measures help make your home safer and reduce your bills.

Now that’s a win-win!

280 communities across BC have received FireSmart funding:

132 First Nations and 148 local governments.

FireSmart is how we build wildfire resilience at the community-level, with local leadership at the head of the work.

Banff takes lessons from destructive Jasper wildfire: 'FireSmart works'
