FireSmart Treatments – Face Lake and Paska Lake Communities

Project Number: #WR0000474

The community of Face-Paska Lakes and the surrounding areas are located 15 km northeast of Logan Lake and has unique wildfire related risks. This isolated community has permanent year-round residents and seasonal tourists who come at the peak of fire season. Limited evacuation routes and proximity to forest fuels increase overall potential risk during a wildfire event. The area has been identified in the Logan Lake Wildfire Risk Management Plan (WRMP) as an area requiring attention and action. The proposed treatments will reduce wildfire hazard through fuel reduction treatments in areas with high fuel levels directly adjacent to residential developments.
