Description:
|
FireSmart funds projects that help reduce the threat posed by wildfire in and around Yukon communities. FireSmart funds community projects that focus on removing deadfall and forest fuels, thinning trees and species conversion. FireSmart also funds projects that help communities develop long-term wildfire safety plans, create firebreaks and make roadways more accessible for fire-fighting equipment. The program puts Yukoners to work by supporting the use of local resources and skills.
