The SLRD FireSmart team is dedicated to empowering all residents to protect their properties and their community from the risks of wildfire.
Seasonally and pending on grant funding, initiatives and activities are offered to help SLRD communities in their wildfire mitigation and preparedness efforts.
Are you prepared for this wildfire season?
FireSmart Home Assessments
Property owners in the SLRD can receive a free FireSmart Home Assessment conducted by a qualified Local FireSmart Representative (LFR). The Assessment identifies wildfire risk specific to the property and provides recommendations for reducing those risks.
