Wildfire season is underway and city fire officials say homeowners can help reduce the risk of wildfire around their house.
The idea is to build and maintain up to 30 metres of wildfire resiliency.
“There are many factors that may impact your property’s risk to wildfire so visiting www.FireSmartCanada.ca is your first step to protecting your home,” states a release. “Many resources are available to the homeowner such as ‘FireSmart Begins at Home Guide’ or the FireSmart 101 online course.”
Officials say the free one-hour course will walk residents through the three “Home Ignition Zones” teaching them how to reduce the risks on their property, working outwards from the home.
Also available is the FireSmart Begins at Home app.
