PRINCE GEORGE — With wildfire season in full swing, the city of Prince George is offering a free program to help mitigate the effect of wildfires.

Residents can receive a free visit from a wildfire expert via the FireSmart BC Wildfire Mitigation Program and receive personalized tips to make their property safer.

While at a property owner’s home, the wildfire expert will tour the property, assess wildfire risks and come up with solutions to deal with them, if any.

Residents will also have an opportunity to earn a FireSmart certificate upon completion of mitigation actions and a follow-up inspection and may be eligible for insurance incentives or discounts.
