New Brunswick Fire Smart Risk Assessments

The team at Emergency Solutions International has been fortunate to be included in our second New Brunswick community Fire Smart Risk Assessment. Our team recently started the process at Pabineau First Nation which is supported by the North Shore Mi'kmaq Tribal Council and Indigenous Services Canada. Our team has been refining the assessment process and taking the time to learn from elders in the communities as we proceed. What we are also finding important in this process which physically examines every single civic address is the layering of National/Building Fire Code Inspections as we proceed; to not have experts on the ground with this lens would be a missed opportunity. For our most recent Pabineau and Indian Island work we were assisted by Captain Roy Nolan Roy Nolan BPSA whose critical eye and expertise as a long serving Fire Inspector and Fire Investigator assisted us greatly. A big shout out to the team at Pabineau First Nation and leaders Susan Motty and Chris Turkenkopf.

Congratulations to the teams at Indian Island New Brunswick and the North Shore Tribal Council on completing New Brunswick's first Fire Smart Risk Assessment and then following it up with an Evacuation Plan and validation exercise.

The quantitative Fire Smart process charts the risk score for each and every property or civic address through ArcGIS. This gives a clear prioritized path to lowering risk gradually, often through community based programs or regularly scheduled maintenance. The FireSmart™ Canada risk assessment is an ideal foundation piece for a community risk assessment to the NFPA 1300 Standard and/or an Evacuation Plan. Thanks Bianca Langille, ISC, CJ Barter and Peter Levi for your leadership on the Indian Island project. #secureresilientcompetitive #firesmart #emergencymanagement
