FireSmart
The City of Whitehorse is offering 1-hour FireSmart Home Assessment appointments to residents with homes in city limits. We’ll visit your property, provide FireSmart recommendations and answer your questions. Book your spot here!
Appointments are available on weekdays up to three weeks in advance. If you don’t see any appointments available, please check back as new slots open up each day.
For neighbourhood FireSmart work, your local community association or non-profit may be eligible for funding. Contact Government of Yukon Wildland Fire at [email protected] for more information.
