BCAA and FireSmart BC are working together to help British Columbians understand how to prepare for wildfires.

As wildfire risks grow across our province, we’re committed to helping more communities feel prepared and supported.

Learn about how we're partnering to build a more resilient BC, and explore the tips and resources below to help protect your home and property.

Together, we can keep our homes and communities safe from wildfires.

BCAA FireSmart BC Initiative

Since 2023, the BCAA FireSmart BC Initiative has expanded access to FireSmart education, tools, and support for remote, rural and high‑risk communities through proactive outreach, educational resource distribution and financial support for FireSmart resiliency solutions & programs.

As community needs evolve, we're proud to build on the work of this initiative as the Premier Sponsor in support of the Local FireSmart Collective Program, helping even more neighbourhoods and communities across BC take greater strides toward meaningful wildfire mitigation action.
