About the assessment
FireSmart Home Partners Property Assessments provide residents:
- An in-depth, on-site assessment conducted by experienced fire professionals
- An opportunity for property owners to identify mitigation actions unique to their property
- A mitigation certification that can also be shared with local insurance providers to showcase mitigation activities and potentially increase a homeowner’s ability to maintain insurance overage. Please note: FireSmart Canada does not share the assessment or any details of the assessment with the insurance industry
- A detailed follow up report with customized mitigation actions designed to measurably reduce the wildfire risk to your property
- An opportunity to earn FireSmart acknowledging your mitigation achievements. The certificate is given upon successful completion of required mitigation actions and an on-site follow up inspection
- FireSmart Home signage for your property
