FireSmart Rebate program to continue
As a part of continued efforts to increase the community’s resilience to wildfire, the District of Invermere announced today it will continue the FireSmart Rebate program.
Homeowners who take steps to FireSmart their homes may be eligible to be reimbursed through the FireSmart Rebate Program. Through funding received from the Union of BC Municipality’s Community Resiliency Investment Program, the District of Invermere is offering $500 rebates to residents who take steps to FireSmart their homes or property.
The focus of the FireSmart Rebate Program in 2021 will be on the reduction of combustible vegetation in and around residences, and wood shake or wood shingle roofs- this is the simplest, yet most effective way to improve a home’s ability to survive a wildfire, the district explained.
