Current Emergency Services Projects
Community Wildfire Protection Planning & Pilot Projects
The Regional District is currently partnering with Ministry of Forests and Range and BC Parks in firesmarting communities in the Peace. Three risk areas have been identified for pilot projects and include One Island Lake, Moberly Lake and Wonowon.
Over the following months the Regional District will be moving to Phase II of operations which will reduce intercrown spacing of trees from 2.5 metres to 4 metres. This work will also reduce the number of stems per hectare, which in turn will reduce the risk of wildfire in treated parcels. Upon completion, it is hoped that these areas will provide residents with a good idea of how they can firesmart their own properties.
