Today, the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction, FPInnovations and FireSmart BC released a report on the Grouse Mountain Complex wildfires. The fires lead to significant structure loss in West Kelowna/Kelowna/Shuswap in August 2023. The report has two main components: 1. A fire spread analysis to identify how the wildfire moved into the communities and how fire spread once it had entered those communities. 2. Structure ignition and survival analyses to determine the factors that enabled or prevented damage. Insured damage from these fires neared $500m. https://lnkd.in/gyPSAbZ3
