🔥 On the front lines of watershed protection.

In September, when the Mount Jack wildfire threatened the Greater Victoria Regional Water Supply Area, the CRD’s Watershed Protection Team worked alongside BC Wildfire Service to help fight the fire and bring it under control.

The wildfire became the largest fire to burn within the Greater Victoria Water Supply Area in more than 30 years. While significant, it occurred within the Leech Water Supply Area, which is planned as a future drinking water source and is not currently used to supply drinking water to the region. Preliminary assessments indicate a low risk to water quality.

This event serves as an important reminder that wildfire is one of the most significant risks to our drinking water quality. Large wildfires can damage forest cover and soils, increasing erosion and allowing ash, sediment, nutrients and other materials to wash into source water. These impacts can degrade source water quality and, because the region relies on an unfiltered drinking water supply from the Sooke Water Supply Area, may also affect drinking water quality.

Had a wildfire of this scale occurred within the Sooke watershed, the potential impacts to the region's drinking water supply could have been much greater. Wildfire remains the greatest land-based threat to drinking water quality in the Greater Victoria Water Supply Area.

These lands are protected and closed to the public access to help safeguard water quality and reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires, like this wildfire.

Thank you to the CRD’s Watershed Protection Team and BC Wildfire Service for their work protecting these important lands and our region’s drinking water.

🏡 Is your home FireSmart?

During Fire Prevention Week, take a few simple steps to reduce wildfire risk around your home by working through each of the FireSmart Home Ignition Zones:

✅ Immediate Zone (0-1.5 m): Keep your roof clear of leaves and branches, remove debris from decks and around your home, and regularly clean corners and crevices where combustible materials can accumulate.

✅ Intermediate Zone (1.5-10 m): Choose fire-resistant plants, keep lawns mowed, remove bark mulch and pine needles, move woodpiles at least 10 m from structures, keep fire pits safely distanced, and have tools like hoses, sprinklers, rakes, and shovels ready.

✅ Extended Zone (10-30 m): Space trees appropriately, prune lower branches, remove ladder fuels, maintain clear access routes, and work with neighbours to create a more resilient community.

Wildfire preparedness starts at home. Small actions can make a big difference in helping protect your property, your neighbourhood, and emergency responders.

Learn more about FireSmart principles, practical tips, and resources to help reduce wildfire risk around your home.

📍 Home assessments and FireSmart rebate programs are available in participating Electoral Areas. Visit our website to learn more about available programs in your community. https://www.crd.ca/programs-services/fire-emergency/fire-protection-services/firesmart
