Strategy
Wildfires are essential to the ecosystems found in B.C. but they can also threaten lives, infrastructure and resources. Effective wildfire management means preserving nature and protecting people and property. The approach of the BC Wildfire Service to wildfire management accomplishes both.

Beneficial fires are allowed to burn under careful monitoring and management while harmful fires that cannot be prevented are suppressed through the BC Wildfire Service’s firefighting operations and, unnecessary fires that can be prevented, are prevented through enforced legislation, heightened public awareness and effective initiatives.
