Protect your Alberta property by following FireSmart principles, maintaining a 'Go Bag', and using a rapid alerting system like TogetherSafe to stay ahead of fast-moving fires.
As we navigate 2026, Alberta continues to experience intense wildfire seasons. Driven by dry conditions and high winds, these fires pose a severe threat to communities from Fort McMurray down to the foothills of the Rockies. For Albertans, wildfire safety is a critical part of daily life.
The best defense begins at home. By adopting FireSmart principles, you drastically increase your property's chances of surviving a wildfire.
Wildfires can shift direction in minutes. Depending solely on evening news broadcasts or delayed social media posts can be fatal.
TogetherSafe utilizes its advanced HEIM v3 intelligence engine to monitor satellite thermal data, official Alberta Wildfire reports, and on-the-ground community insights. If a fire threatens your specified neighborhood or evacuation routes, TogetherSafe instantly pushes an alert to your phone, cutting through the noise so you can evacuate safely.
Even if a fire is hundreds of kilometers away, the smoke can severely impact your health. During poor Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) days, run HEPA air purifiers indoors, avoid strenuous outdoor activities, and ensure your HVAC systems have fresh, high-MERV filters installed.
You can use the TogetherSafe app to receive AI-verified, hyperlocal wildfire alerts and evacuation notices directly to your phone in real-time.
FireSmart is a national program in Canada that provides guidelines for homeowners to reduce the risk of wildfire damage to their properties by clearing vegetation and using fire-resistant materials.
Stay indoors, keep windows closed, run a HEPA air purifier, and wear a well-fitted N95 mask if you must go outside during poor air quality days.
