FireSmart™ Program
The District of Coldstream is located in a wildfire-prone area and has experienced wildland-urban interface fires in the past. Fortunately, by taking a few simple steps, you can protect your home from wildfire using FireSmart™ principles.
FireSmart™ is a national program that helps Canadians build resilience to wildfire and reduce its impact on communities. Each year, more communities face the increasing threat of wildfires, making it essential to prepare—both collectively as a District and individually as homeowners. The FireSmart program offers practical, actionable steps that residents can take to reduce wildfire risk on and around their properties.
The goal of FireSmart is to educate and empower residents to increase their wildfire resilience at the property, neighbourhood, and community levels.
