Free FireSmart Home Assessments
Parkland County is now offering free FireSmart Home Assessments to residents of Parkland County, including the Summer Village of Kapasiwin, and other Summer Villages.
County residents can get a free FireSmart Home Assessment to learn how to protect their homes from wildfires. Each assessment takes about 30-45 minutes, and it's important that you're there too.
Our FireSmart experts will:
1. Tour the outside of your house and yard for things that increase your risk during a wildfire.
2. Provide a customized report based on what they see with actions on how to reduce the risk of damage by wildfire.
3. Share helpful tips to make your home less susceptible to wildfires.
If you've completed the suggested safety improvements in the report, you can ask for another assessment later if you wish.
