FireSmart Program - Protection Island

The Protection Island FireSmart plan has been prepared in accordance with current knowledge of fire preparedness and
prevention techniques and strategies. It is intended to offer strategies to safeguard our community and provide resiliency from a fire event. The Protection Island FireSmart Board is supported by Nanaimo Fire Rescue. The intent of the plan is threefold:

• To promote awareness of residents to potential dangers of fire and offer solutions to mitigate impacts and create resiliency

• To develop an action plan to address current situations that lessens our ability to manage fire on Protection Island and increase our resiliency to fire

• To be recognized as a FireSmart Canada Community
