Farm FireSmart News

The County is promoting awareness of its Farm FireSmart program during Canadian Agricultural Safety Week.

Your farming operation often relies on a team of advisers — lawyers, accountants, succession planners and marketers. Insurance providers can play a similar role, helping farmers to manage your wildfire risks.

FireSmart Canada has launched a great new app this fall called FireSmart Begins at Home. Available as a free Apple or Android download, this app is designed to give users the tools they need to mitigate the risk of fire damage to their properties - wherever they may reside.

An Environmental Farm Plan (EFP for short) is a voluntary, whole farm, self-assessment tool that helps producers identify their environmental risks and develop plans to mitigate identified risks. Many Government of Alberta funding programs require producers to have completed an EFP in the last ten years.
