FREE WILDFIRE RISK ASSESSMENT FROM FIRESMART
Wildfires are becoming more frequent and severe, especially in areas where homes meet natural vegetation. To help reduce this risk, Halifax Regional Fire & Emergency is offering free, voluntary FireSmart property assessments to residents.
As part of this service, trained staff will visit your home, identify potential wildfire hazards—like flammable materials or overgrown vegetation—and provide personalized tips to help you make your property safer.
Request your free assessment today at halifax.ca/firesmart or call 311 to learn more. Taking action now can make a big difference in protecting your home.
