Pemberton Fire Rescue is aware of a large registered burn taking place in the Macrae Road area, near the festival grounds and the industrial park.

Residents can expect to see flames and smoke in the area over the next few days. The property owners have crews and equipment on site to manage the burn in accordance with applicable regulations.

We appreciate the community’s awareness while this planned burn takes place.

🔥 Another big year for our FireSmart community mitigation and information events!

A big thank you to everyone who took part in this year’s spring, summer and fall mitigation and information events.

The Signal Hill wildfire was a timely reminder of how quickly wildfire can impact our community and why preparing our homes and neighbourhoods matters.

Through this year’s community cleanups and mitigation efforts, we’ve removed around 40,000 kg of high-risk debris and vegetation, helping reduce potential ignition points and create more defensible space around homes. 🌿🏠

A shoutout to the communities involved:

Creekside
The Peaks
Pioneer Junction

Wildfire resilience is a shared responsibility, and every effort helps us better prepare for future wildfires. Thanks to everyone who got involved and helped make a difference this year!
