NATIONAL NOT - FOR - PROFIT

Faster action. Lower Impact.

We bring insurers, utilities, First Nations, industry and government together to get resources to wildfires sooner and cut the cost of wildfire in Canada.

THE CHALLENGE

Fires can't all be prevented. They can be reached sooner.

Billions a year are spent directly and indirectly to fight and recover from wildfires in Canada. Getting to more fires, faster, means fewer become large, costly events.

WHO WE ARE

The Wildfire Mitigators Association of Canada works to reduce wildfire costs and impacts through cross-sector collaboration.

We focus on one gap: the time between ignition or detection and effective initial response. We work alongside existing wildfire organizations, not in place of them.

THE WINDOW

The gap we focus on

Ignition or detection
Response window: Where we focus
Effective initial action
Contained, or escalated

We examine the technology, information, communication, infrastructure and access barriers that affect how quickly resources can reach a fire, and where that window can be shortened.
