The FireSmart program is based on scientific research suggesting that implementing proven steps around your property is the most effective way to protect your home from wildfire.
Deepening research on wildfire resiliency and FireSmart approaches is a priority for the BC FireSmart Committee, as the insights from this work help guide and prioritize our work. The FireSmart Research Hub is a space to share information and insights on wildfire resiliency research projects undertaken in coordination with the BC FireSmart Committee.
