PRRD launches 2024 FireSmart campaign to empower residents
The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) is launching the FireSmart campaign again in 2024 for homeowners in rural electoral areas. The initiative aims to educate and help residents protect their properties and communities from wildfires.
As PRRD Chair Brad Sperling noted, “…the FireSmart program is invaluable to our community. It empowers residents to take proactive steps protecting their homes and loved ones from the increasing threat of wildfires. By participating in this program, we are strengthening our regional resilience and ensuring the safety and well-being of our communities. We are also very excited to offer additional support for seniors and people with mobility considerations this year, as these are important members of our community who require extra care.”
