Fire Smart
“Wildfire“, “Urban Interface” and “FireSmart“: three terms every BC homeowner should know.
Many people in BC value the location of their homes due to its proximity to the wilderness. If this is the case for you, congratulations; however, a risk you may not have considered is Wildfire.
BC’s FireSmart program has been designed to assess and reduce the risk to your home before a wildfire approaches. Techniques such as removing large trees near the house, relocating woodpiles and reducing surface vegetation can drastically reduce your risk without compromising the beauty and wilderness of your location.
By assigning points to different risk factors (such as ‘ unrated wood shingles’, or ‘non-tempered glass’) one can receive a comparable risk factor and make decisions accordingly.
Loki Tree Service is qualified in the assessment of properties as well as the removal of trees, vegetation and other flammable materials. Also, through consultation, Loki Tree Service can advise you on your next renovation or roofing project so that the materials you use are both pleasing and safe for your property.
