The burn trials teach us how FireSmart principles really work. We’ve come to understand how to better protect homes threatened by wildfire. I’ve seen firsthand the difference FireSmart makes.

Doing a bit of maintenance around your yard can make a world of difference in a wildfire situation. It not only protects your home, but also keeps our fire fighters safe. Taking simple steps to move your firewood pile away from your home and keeping your yard free of debris can help to reduce the damage a wildfire can do to your home."

The burns couldn’t happen without the support and involvement of the community of Fort Providence."
