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.

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
