Get FireSmart! Sooke Information Session on April 17, 2023 at Sooke Library

Join us for a FREE fire education session specific to living in the Sooke region!

Living in a fire-prone ecosystem means we must implement wildfire mitigation strategies to reduce our wildfire risk and protect our community here in Sooke. Fires on the coast can be vigorous, especially in steep/difficult terrain and/or drought-stricken areas. Lightning storms and water shortages are becoming more common during the summer months and impact both fire behaviour and response operations on the coast.

Learn more about how you can help increase our community resiliency to wildfire. Topics include:

  • Sooke’s wildfire risk;
  • Fire behaviour;
  • Wildland urban interface zone;
  • FireSmart principles, and;
  • How to protect your home and community.

Presented by Ashlene Aktarian, FireSmart Coordinator, District of Sooke.
