Our thoughts are with everyone who has been evacuated and affected by the wildfires.

Thank you to the brave firefighters who are out there battling the flames.

We’re incredibly grateful for the generosity people continue to show firefighters and wildfire personnel across B.C. ❤️

We know when wildfires are impacting communities, people want to help. And we see and appreciate the offers of food, drinks, supplies and other donations that come our way.

While the gesture means a lot, BC Wildfire Service crews are fully supplied with the food, water and equipment they need. Unfortunately, we’re not able to accept donations at fire camps, bases or worksites. Unplanned deliveries can also create additional work for personnel and interfere with busy wildfire operations.

The best way to support wildfire response is to direct that generosity toward the communities and people who need it most.

Organizations like the United Way BC and Canadian Red Cross, along with local organizations supporting evacuees and impacted communities, can help ensure donations reach people where they’ll have the greatest impact.

There are other important ways you can help, too.

Follow evacuation orders and alerts, respect area restrictions and road closures, stay clear of wildfire operations and do everything you can to prevent new human-caused wildfires.

You can also take action at home. FireSmart work around your property can help make your home more resilient to wildfire and give firefighters a better chance of defending it. Simple actions like clearing combustible material from around your home, cleaning debris from roofs and gutters and keeping vegetation maintained can make a meaningful difference.

And if you want to show your appreciation for BCWS staff and responders, drop a message in the comments, send us a message or email [email protected]. We’ll collect your messages and share them with the people working hard across the province. ❤️

When the tree has seen better days, you give it the chainsaw treatment.
