You have more control over your home's wildfire risk than you might think. The Home Ignition Zone is the 30-metre area around your home, and it's where you have the most control. Focus closest to your house first: → 0 to 1.5m: Non-combustible zone. Gravel or stone, no mulch, no debris. → 1.5 to 10m: Remove dry underbrush, move sheds and firewood, space out combustibles. → 10 to 30m: Thin and prune trees, remove dead material, reduce fuel. You don't have to do it all at once. Just start close and work outward. Free resources and guides at firesmartcanada.ca

Chargez les gros appareils comme les vélos, trottinettes et outils électriques à l’extérieur de la maison si possible, et laissez les sorties dégagées. Plus la batterie est grosse, plus le feu est gros.

Test carbon monoxide (CO) alarms at least once a month and replace them if they fail to respond when tested. The sensors in CO alarms have a limited life. Replace the CO alarm according to manufacturer’s instructions or when the end-of-life signal sounds. nfpa.org/carbonmonoxide
