March 20, 2025 –
On March 18, 2025, Clearwater Council approved two major initiatives designed to strengthen our community’s wildfire resilience: establishing a specialized Fire Department Initial Attack (FDIA) Crew and expanding our FireSmart Fuel Mitigation Crew.
These programs directly address Clearwater’s unique wildfire risks, significantly enhancing our local capacity for immediate wildfire suppression and proactive fuel management. Both initiatives are fully funded through existing reserves and provincial grants.
