FireSmart Canada

FireSmart Canada Canada is committed to raising awareness, providing information & developing forums to address common issues.

FireSmart is the go-to national program providing science-based programs & tools. Preparing for the threat of wildfire is a shared responsibility. From home owners, to industry and government we all have responsibility to lessen the effects of wildfire. Wildland Urban Interface is a popular term used to describe an area where structures and forested areas meet. Simply put, Wildland Urban Interfac

e is where the urban lifestyle meets environments that are prone to wildfire. By choosing to extend our lifestyle and communities further into forested areas, we become more exposed to the danger of wildfire. FireSmart Canada helps you understand the potential of wildfire affecting your home and your community.

🔥 weekend is almost here, and that means many of us will be spending cozy evenings around the campfire.

Here are a few tips to help you have a safe weekend:

- Is there a fire ban or restriction in place? Check with local authorities to understand current requirements and restrictions for campfires.
- Keep a 3 metre non-combustible area around your fire pit.
- Place your fire as far from other flammable materials as possible.
- Soak, stir, and soak again. Ensure your campfire is properly extinguished prior to leaving.
---------------------

🔥Le long weekend de la est presque arrivé, ce qui signifie que beaucoup d'entre nous passeront des soirées douillettes autour d'un feu de camp.

Voici quelques conseils pour vous aider à passer un week-end en toute sécurité.

- Existe-t-il une interdiction ou une restriction de faire des feux ? Renseignez-vous auprès des autorités locales pour connaître les exigences et les restrictions en vigueur concernant les feux de camp.
- Gardez une zone incombustible de 3 mètres autour de votre foyer.
- Placez votre feu aussi loin que possible des autres matériaux inflammables.
- Trempez, remuez et trempez encore. Veillez à ce que votre feu de camp soit correctement éteint avant de partir.
