Prevent wildfires
People cause more than half of the wildfires in Alberta annually. To help prevent wildfires, follow these guidelines:
- Farmers: Regularly inspect your machines and clear any debris and vegetation from around hot spots. This practice helps prevent wildfires caused by overheated debris. Always carry firefighting equipment, including a shovel, fire extinguisher, and bucket, on your farming equipment.
- Campers: Keep your campfires small, safe, and always attended. Before leaving the site or going to bed, ensure your campfire is completely extinguished. Soak the fire with water, stir the ashes, and soak it again to ensure it’s out. The fire is fully extinguished when you can no longer feel any heat from the ashes.
- Off-highway vehicle riders: Stop frequently to clear any debris from your machine, as materials like grass, moss, or muskeg can smoulder and drop to the ground, potentially sparking a wildfire. Always carry firefighting equipment, such as a shovel, fire extinguisher, and bucket, while riding.
- FireSmart: By taking proactive FireSmart measures around your house and yard, you can help protect your property from wildfire. Download the FireSmart Begins At Home Guide.
