Wildfire Planning

Building resiliency to wildfire is complex and requires strategic planning. Frontera is dedicated to helping communities at every stage of this process.

We collaborate closely with clients to understand the needs of their community, outline a strategic vision and roadmap for building resiliency to wildfire, and ensure they are ready for rapid implementation.

what we do

Wildfire Planning

Frontera at forestry conference

Frontera partners with communities, local governments, First Nations, and private landowners to plan, prepare for, and mitigate wildfire risks.

Achieving wildfire resiliency requires a tailored approach to match the unique circumstances of each organization we work with. We combine advanced wildfire modelling, professional expertise, and rigorous field data collection to map local wildfire hazard, identify resiliency objectives, and pinpoint values at risk. Our department manages data with strict quality control so we can deliver precise, logical, and operationally sound strategies. Our deep collaborative relationships across British Columbia ensure your organization can move seamlessly from planning to active risk reduction.

How we Help

Wildfire Planning for your Community

Community Wildfire Resiliency Plans

Frontera develops comprehensive CWRPs that protect lives, homes, and communities. We look beyond basic provincial hazards by utilizing sophisticated wildfire modelling to predict fire behaviour in and around the communities we want to protect. By uniting local governments, First Nations, and community stakeholders under a shared, data-supported vision, we build clear roadmaps for long-term wildfire resiliency in an era of climate change.

Wildland Urban Interface Wildfire Risk Reduction Tactical Plans

Mitigating risk where communities meet natural forest landscapes requires exact technical execution. We collaborate closely with provincial land managers to evaluate threats, prioritize fuel management zones, and align local tactics with broader BC forest policies. Our structured field data collection ensures that fuel management projects on Provincial Crown land are accurately mapped, efficiently approved, and ready for operational success.

Community Forest Plans

Community forests require a delicate balance between active management, resource protection, and community safety. We design specific wildfire plans that integrate wildfire risk management into existing forest management frameworks. By providing clear guidance on fuel treatments and preparedness, we help community forests reduce wildfire intensity while supporting broader management goals and operations.
