Sparwood FireSmart event planned for Aug. 7

Sparwood residents can learn more about the community’s new FireSmart program at an event next week.

The event will take place at the Sparwood Recreation Centre from 6-8:30 p.m.

“This will be an informative and engaging evening where we’ll cover the FireSmart 101 program, explore how it connects with our local initiatives and discuss what it means for Sparwood,” said Mayor David Wilks.

“The Open House will be a great chance to meet your neighbours, ask questions and learn directly from our FireSmart team.”

Residents can also expect FireSmart coordinator Paul Grismer to being going door-to-door through the community.

“Paul will be sharing valuable information, answering questions and helping residents understand how they can take simple steps to protect their homes and properties,” Wilks added.

“Whether it’s clearing debris from gutters, spacing out vegetation, or understanding ember zones, these conversations are a great opportunity to learn and take action.”
