Are You Prepared?

Did you know that your home's surrounding wildfire risk is decreased when you prune the branches on your trees? You can significantly lower the likelihood that a small surface fire would climb your tree and spread to its branches by cutting the branches up to two meters. Contact Micaiah Taylor, the Mackenzie Fire Smart Coordinator, for a free assessment if you're unsure how to prune your trees or have concerns about spacing. Visit the Fire Smart BC website for additional information on home safety hazards and tree pruning.
