About the Program
The Local FireSmart Collective Program (LFCP) is the next step in community wildfire resilience. Replacing the FireSmart Canada Neighbourhood Recognition Program (FCNRP) in British Columbia, the LFCP supports and recognizes groups of residents and community organizations who take meaningful, collective action to protect their shared spaces from wildfire.
From rural areas and suburbs to First Nations communities or farms and ranches, this program is built to meet the unique needs of residents and reward their efforts. Communities currently recognized under FCNRP will continue to receive support until 2026.

What Makes the LFCP Different?
While the Collective builds on the success of FCNRP, there are some important changes to be aware of.
The LFCP introduces a four-tier system to track and celebrate progress. Each tier reflects increasing levels of community engagement and wildfire resilience, with financial incentives and recognition available along the way.
This flexible program is more inclusive than ever, welcoming not just homes and properties, but parks, campuses, and businesses alike.
