It is a free, educational assessment of your home's exterior and yard to determine your home and yard hazard score. An assessment can also be done for businesses. There are three easy ways to find out your score:

1. Free FireSmart Begins at Home App: available from Google Play or the App Store, this guided, self-conducted assessment also provides FireSmart recommendations.
2. Free FireSmart Begins at Home Manual: available from firesmartbc.ca, it outlines the FireSmart program and how each homeowner can make their property and neighbourhood FireSmart, and includes a self-conducted assessment score card.
3. Free visit by a Local FireSmart Representative (LFR): The LFR will walk around your yard, fill out the score card, and explain the different ways that landscaping, building practices, and yard work can affect your wildfire risk. The LFR will give you a list of recommendations and can answer any questions you may have. You can also ask about neighbourhood assessments. Email firesmart@quesnel.ca to request a visit.

Please note that there are no obligations to complete the recommendations, the assessment is not linked to your property, and no information is shared with your insurance provider - it is an educational tool only.
