You and your neighbours have a major role to play in reducing the wildfire threat to your home. Changes made to the area closest to your home have the greatest impact on reducing the risk of wildfire damage. Ready to start making changes to your home?

FireSmart™ Canada wants to recognize neighbourhoods that begin working together to reduce their risk in the event of a wildfire. Is this your neighbourhood?

A Neighbourhood Champion (a FireSmart Canada term) will help rally their neighbours and act as a point of communication with Kamloops Fire Rescue, a Local FireSmart Representative.

FireSmart work is best done in spring after the snow melts and prior to ‘fire season’. As a neighbourhood, your team of worker bees, will work together to remove non-FireSmart landscaping from your private properties. The work is done by homeowners helping homeowners. Apply now to be your Neighbourhood Champion.
