Get fire-season ready.
Six free, FireSmart-aligned checklists to reduce your wildfire risk and know exactly what to do when an evacuation alert comes. Each one links back to the authoritative source.
We built these checklists for residents of Western Canada and the 18 western US states we cover. Start anywhere: most people begin with the Home & Property list, then build a go-bag and a family plan. Pair them with the Home Ignition Zone assessment to find the highest-impact fixes around your home.
