PRINCE GEORGE – The Fire Smart program is rapidly expanding as the threat of wildfires to homes in British Columbia escalates. Local FireSmart representatives are on standby, ready to assist residents in safeguarding their properties.

Experts state climate change is causing longer and drier wildfire seasons, raising the risk of wildfires reaching urban areas.

Fire Smart maintains a list of local representatives across the province to assist homeowners in preparing for wildfires.

Wildfire experts recommend that homeowners assess areas where embers could get trapped near their homes, potentially causing fires.
