The East Kootenay FireSmart program is hosting a community event next month for Currie Road members.
It will be BBQ and education session for all Currie Road FireSmart Neighbourhood residents.
RDEK board chair Rob Gay says following FireSmart guidance is an easy way to make sure your home is better protected.
“It teaches that things like shrubs right up against your house may not be a good idea,” said Gay.
“FireSmart principals talk about creating some open green space around your home, if you’re replacing your roof, use things that are less flammable than things like cedar shakes.”
It’s scheduled for April 19 at 4 p.m. at the Baynes Lake Access lot.
