FireSmart Canada

FireSmart™ Canada is a program of the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre. CIFFC became the owner of the FireSmart Canada brand in 2021. The history of FireSmart Canada goes back to 1990 when a committee was established to address common concerns about wildfire in the wildland urban interface, where wildlands and human development come together.
The FireSmart program is implemented through seven disciplines to help neighborhoods address the threat of wildfire: education, emergency planning, vegetation management, legislation, development, interagency cooperation and cross training.
