FireSmart

The 2025 seasonal FireSmart Program began on May 1st. Please note that we are booking home assessments 4-6 weeks out at this time. Your local Wildfire Mitigation Specialist will contact you directly to schedule a time for the assessment.

As part of the Community Resiliency Investment program there is potential for homeowners to be compensated up to $5,000 for performing FireSmart activities on residential property or homes. The rebate application intake is open from May 1st through to October 31st 2025, distributed on a first come – first served basis, while funding is available. Please review the 2025 RDCK FireSmart Rebate Guide prior to submitting your rebate application. Inquiries can be directed to firesmart@rdck.bc.ca .

  • Email firesmart@rdck.bc.ca or call 250-352-1539 to get a free assessment and recommendations before you build. Our normal Home Partners FireSmart assessments are only for properties with fully built homes on them. These bare land assessments will look at fuel type, topography, landscaping considerations, and building material choice to give you some great advice on how to build FireSmart. Please note that these assessments are not eligible for a rebate, a fully built home with a Home Partners assessment is required to access the rebate.
