Wildland Fire Management Working Group Strategic Directions 2014-2019

The WFWMG has reviewed the range of activities currently under its sponsorship. The Working Group has identified the need to place greater focus and resourcing on fewer strategic priorities. These efforts will continue to support the goals of the CWFS, while recognizing the emerging challenges facing wildland fire management agencies. The WFMWG has two strategic priorities: 1. To develop a Canadian Wildland Fire Response Plan to address risks associated with extreme fire load situations. 2. To build community protection and prevention programs such that partners, residents, and communities are engaged in wildfire prevention and loss mitigation.
