BRITISH COLUMBIA
Wildfire Preparedness.
Have a Plan.
Site-specific wildfire preparedness and structure protection planning for rural properties, stratas, resorts and multi-building communities.
THE PROBLEM
Wildfires don't wait for you to prepare.
You should have a plan before it arrives.
Fire Shield helps property owners understand their property's wildfire risk, procure the right equipment, and establish a clear structure protection plan before an emergency occurs.
WHAT WE DO
Practical planning for real properties.
Structure Protection Planning
Create a site-specific plan identifying protection priorities, equipment requirements and deployment procedures.
Equipment & Water Planning
Recommend pumps, sprinklers, hose, fittings, water sources and supporting equipment suited to the property.
Aerial Deployment Mapping
Turn the property into a clear operational map showing water sources, equipment locations, hose routes and sprinkler locations.
Emergency Procedures
Develop practical procedures that designated property personnel can follow when wildfire threatens.
Deployment Drills
Conduct a spring structure protection deployment drill so the plan and equipment are well known before they are needed.
WHAT A PLAN LOOKS LIKE
A plan you can actually use.
Every property is different. Fire Shield plans translate a site assessment into a practical deployment strategy that property owners and designated personnel can understand and practice.
- Water sources and pump locations
- Hose routes and sprinkler locations
- Structure protection priorities

ABOUT FIRE SHIELD
Built on firefighting experience.
#i will ad a photo of me here.
Fire Shield was founded by Evan Wright, a firefighter with experience in structural, wildland, and aircraft firefighting, including five seasons with the BC Wildfire Service and experience as an Initial Attack Crew Leader. He has supplemented his experience with Firesmart and BCWS Structure Protection courses.
The goal is simple: He wants to use his knowledge and experience to help reduce the number of structures damaged and lost each wildfire season.
