In collaboration with the Government of the Northwest Territories, the Northwest Territories Structure Ignition Project will be conducted in Yellowknife (exact dates TBC).
To conduct the experiment, 14 tiny home structures (8×8 ft) will be built with varying FireSmart and non-FireSmart materials and installed in the Fort Providence Wildfire Experimental Site. A controlled fire will be ignited at the site to study and monitor how the structures withstand the effects of wildfire and associated ember showers. Insights from this project will be shared with the public, along with a case study video.
