FireSmart BC Education Program – Grades K-1

Below you’ll find the FireSmart BC Education Program lesson guides and lesson plans for kindergarten to Grade 1. The lesson guides are designed to help educators bring wildfire awareness and preparedness into the classroom in a flexible, accessible way. Each guide offers a modular approach, allowing lessons to be taught as stand-alone activities or as part of a broader learning sequence.
