2009 Fire Season Review

Government's review of the 2009 fire season supports continuous improvement of wildfire management in British Columbia and reinforces the key role prevention plays in protecting people and property. The review was completed by the Wildfire Management Branch with input from other branches of the Ministry of Forests and Range, provincial and federal ministries, local governments, partners, clients and the public.

2003 FireStorm Review

In October 2003, B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell appointed Gary Filmon, former Premier of Manitoba, to conduct an independent, comprehensive review of the province’s response to the 2003 wildfires. The report identified what could be learned and made recommendations for the future.

Since then, government continues to implement all of Mr. Filmon’s recommendations.
