Wildfire Response and Recovery

Ministry of Environment Fire Response Group

As the land manager for over 12% of the province including parks and protected areas and conservation lands, the Ministry of Environment is responsible for managing the effects of natural disturbances such as wildfires on these lands. The Ministry of Environment Fire Response Group was established to provide information, guidelines and standards for Ministry of Environment wildfire management and research.

The Fire Response Group is composed of both Headquarters and Regional staff from Environmental Protection Division, Environmental Stewardship Division, Biodiversity Branch, Parks and Protected Areas Branch and Fish and Wildlife, Recreation and Allocation Branch. The Fire Response Group works closely with the Ministry of Forests to coordinate: wildfire management planning and fuel reduction projects; wildfire suppression and management; and, post wildfire restoration activities in parks and protected areas, conservation lands managed by the Ministry of Environment and on crown lands.
