FireSmart
FireSmart is a province-wide initiative designed to help communities and residents reduce the risk of wildfire damage through education, planning, and practical actions. The program focuses on mitigation, not emergency response, empowering people to make small, achievable changes to their properties and neighbourhoods that collectively have a major impact on wildfire resilience.
The City of Red Deer is deploying FireSmart in many ways with a distinction between the FireSmart homeowner campaign and the work being done by The City in the publicly forested area (urban forest). Find out more at each of the links below.
Urban Forest Fire Mitigation
Fire prevention work happens in targeted areas of Red Deer’s urban forest during the winter months to reduce fuel load and protect our community from forest fires.
