Defending Against Wildfires

Wildfires are a growing threat across BC—but together, we can help communities become more resilient. Alongside our partners and British Columbians, we're taking action before, during, and after wildfires. From supporting wildfire preparedness through FireSmart BC and strengthening mental health resilience with CMHA BC, to restoring wildfire-impacted landscapes with veritree and raising funds through the BCAA Fireweed Pin, we're helping communities prepare, recover, and rebuild. Together, we’re building a more resilient BC.

Supporting Post Wildfire Recovery

In 2025, we planted 50,000 trees in Williams Lake, helping reforest and restore landscapes so they can thrive again. Our commitment doesn’t stop there, we’ve purchased more trees to continue this important work in the coming year.

BCAA Wildfire Property Defence Program protecting homeowners

On-the-ground wildfire protection for homeowners

BCAA Home Insurance is proud to offer the Wildfire Property Defence Program for homeowners insured with us. While proactive preparation and mitigation remain the best defence against wildfire damage to properties, this program offers an added layer of protection. When wildfires threaten an area, we have the ability to deploy a team that can perform services to a property's exterior that aim to improve its chance of surviving a wildfire.
