Are You Prepared for a Forest Fire?

Katherine Martin • July 6, 2015

At the last count there were 171 active forest fires in BC. As I have clients all across this beautiful province, I thought it would be good to share some information about being ready in case your home is threatened by fire. Although this video and information package was made in California, the information is very relevant to BC residents as well.

If you aren’t close to an affected area, chances are you know someone who is, consider sharing this information with them, because sharing is caring.
