Prescribed burns aren’t just for fire protection, Penticton Indian Band councillor says

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the new cultural burning and prescribed fire microsite, bringing education and awareness to how cultural burning and prescribed fire can help maintain the health and safety of our forests, communities and wildlife.
In the late 1980s, the BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) and Indigenous communities were both facing challenges, which they were able to turn into a joint opportunity.
