Extreme Weather Preparedness FireSmart Assessors
Important Note
The FireSmart professionals listed below can complete FireSmart BC Farm & Ranch Assessments for producers who have been approved for an assessment through the Extreme Weather Preparedness category of the BMP Program (delivered by IAF, with funding from the BC Ministry of Agriculture and Food).
If the above applies to you, you can contact someone from the list below to schedule an assessment.
If the above does not apply to you, please do not contact a FireSmart professional from this list. Instead, visit the “Get a FireSmart Farm & Ranch Assessment” webpage to learn how to access a FireSmart BC Farm & Ranch Assessment.
