It's National Emergency Preparedness Week (May 3-9), and we want you to see your home through our eyes!

Cedar hedges look nice, but did you know they’re highly flammable? Due to their high natural resin and oil content, these hedges could put your home at risk during wildfire season.

Consider swapping cedar and other flammable vegetation for fire-resistant plants such as poplars, hawthorn, or maple.

It's National Emergency Preparedness Week (May 3-9), and we want you to see your home through our eyes!

You see a storage spot for your patio furniture. We see wildfire fuel.

Combustibles like propane, firewood, and even plastic patio furniture could put your home at risk during a wildfire. Storing combustibles at least 10 metres away from your home could help save your home.

Wildfire season is here, and the risks aren’t always obvious. Messy gutters look untidy, but more importantly, those dry leaves and debris are the perfect kindling for flying embers.
