FireSmart™ Canada

🔥 Fiction: All #wildfires are bad and should be stopped immediately. Fact: Wildfires play an important role for the #ecosystem, including nutrient cycling, increasing biodiversity, and reducing vegetation accumulation (such as fallen logs and dense brush).

🚨 It’s hard to predict when an emergency might arise. Plan ahead and have an evacuation plan and a 72-hour emergency kit stored in a location that everyone in your household can access. This will save time and reduce stress if an evacuation order is given.
