FireSmart™ begins at home guide

Description

Wildfires are a natural part of Alberta's wildland ecosystems. Without wildfire, the landscape loses its diversity. Wildfires recycle nutrients, help plants reproduce and create a mosaic of vegetation that provides habitat for a variety of wildlife. By extending our lifestyles and communities further into forested areas, we become more exposed to the danger of wildfire. Living where wildfires can occur puts your home at risk, but it is possible to live safely with this natural event. The recommendations in this guide will reduce the risk of wildfire to your home and neighbourhood and help firefighters to defend your home.
