The Home Partners Program

Take action on your property to reduce wildfire risks

What is the FireSmart Home Partners Program?

The FireSmart Home Partners Program was designed to engage homeowners in voluntary wildfire mitigation activities by offering a professional home assessment with property-specific recommendations.

The assessment process accurately evaluates a home and property for wildfire exposure, while engaging the homeowner in their unique risk and ways to reduce it. Check out some examples assessments: Whistler example - RDCK example.
