The East Kootenay FireSmart™ Program invites you to join us for our first annual Ember Stomp, a Wildfire Community Preparedness Day Event, happening in Jaffray.

You and your family are invited to stop by and enjoy a day of learning, focusing on making your home and community more resilient to wildfire. FireSmart BC™ will be in attendance with Ember the FireSmart Fox as well as FireSmart Landscape Specialist Carla Hoffman.
