FRIAA FireSmart Program projects can include activities related to any of the seven disciplines that make up FireSmart:
- Planning (e.g. FireSmart community plan: wildfire preparedness guides and wildfire mitigation strategies; resource-sharing and mutual-aid fire control agreements);
- Vegetation/Fuel management (e.g. fuel breaks, thinning and pruning, vegetation removal/reduction and conversion to more fire-resistant species);
- Public education (e.g. increased awareness regarding wildfire threat and application of FireSmart principles);
- Inter-agency cooperation and cross-training;
- Legislation and planning (e.g. review provincial and municipal legislation, land-use bylaws and plans);
- Development (e.g. new subdivision development re: roadway access; water supply and utilities placement); and
- Emergency planning (e.g. develop or update procedures and response plans, and upgrading existing developments to FireSmart standards).
