Since 2013, the Anarchist Mountain FireSmart Committee has worked to “help our neighbours in protecting the community from wildfire”.
People living in forested areas need to be aware of the wildfire threat and ways they can take action to make their home and community become “FireSmart”.
Once again, the FireSmart committee along with local residents, have worked diligently to maintain the requirements for our community to be recognized as a FireSmart Community.
Well done to all!!!
