To learn about the most effective ways to reduce local wildfire risk, BL ComFor went to B.A. Blackwell & Associates Ltd. to complete a Landscape Fire Management Plan (LFMP). The Blackwell firm is recognized as a provincial expert in wildfire risk and has provided many communities with an independent assessment and recommendations.
The report can be found on the Burns Lake Community Forest website or on our Facebook page, and or by contacting the Community Forest Office @ 153 Francois Lake Drive 250-692-7724.
