Wildfires<\/h3><\/h2><\/div>

Fires are a natural component of ecosystems in the Kootenays. FireSmarting your property not only improves the forest ecosystem but also protects land and buildings. Individual homeowners and wider communities can take simple steps to reduce the impact of wildfire.<\/p>\n

The time to reduce the threat of wildfire is now, not when a fire is at your doorstep. Be proactive, be practical, and be FireSmart.<\/p>\n

Contact the RDCK to schedule a free FireSmart home assessment and earn up to $500 for taking action to mitigate wildfire risk around your home and property.<\/p>\n<\/div>
