Visit FireSmartAlberta.ca for resources, training, and more regarding wildfires and their interaction with urban areas.
In their own words:
FireSmart is more than a collection of best-practices, programs, resources, and tools. FireSmart is a way of living with and managing the risk of wildfire. It is a shared responsibility between government, community leaders, neighbourhoods, and residents. Together, we can build a wildfire resilient Alberta. A FireSmart Alberta.
