The Structure Protection Unit (SPU) auxiliary of the TIVFD is already gearing up for this summer’s wildfire season.
Now is a good time for you to also get prepared, by safely clearing off your roof, and cleaning out gutters. In the event of a wildfire, embers can be blown downwind and easily ignite dry leaves, needles, cones and other debris in gutters and on your roof.
The following link has a full list of quick and easy FireSmart tips, landscaping ideas (using fire-resistant plants), plus introduces the Home Partners Program (HPP).https://firesmartbc.ca/
You can also apply for a free HPP FireSmart home assessment with property-specific recommendations on how to mitigate wildfire risk for your home.
