Season 2

Episode 6 – Fire and Ashes in First Nations

Fire loss is a major concern in First Nations communities. The per-capita fire-incidence rate in First Nations is 2.4 times the per-capita rate for the rest of Canada. First Nations residents are 10 times more likely to die in a house fire than the rest of the Canadian population. Wildfires are further impacting our communities. In summer 2017, Communities across the country endured an unprecedented number of wildfire emergencies, including numerous evacuations.

Interviews: Arnold Lazare, Member of the Kahnawake Fire Brigade, President & Collaboration Director, Aboriginal Firefighters Association of Canada. Michelle Vandevord, Saskatchewan Emergency & Protective Services, Prince Albert Grand Council.
