Bare Land FireSmart Assessment Program (for undeveloped land)
- 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.
