1 British Columbia s Climate Change Adaption Action Plan Wildfire Management Presented by: Brian Simpson Executive Director BC Wildfire Management Branch
2 Agenda 1. Converging Challenges 2. Climate Change Impacts 3. Trends & Challenges in Wildfires 4. BC s Climate Change Adaptation Action Plan for Wildfire Management
3 Converging Challenges Longer fire season & more extreme fire days Wildfire incidence & severity increasing Increasing development in the forest- more values to protect Increasing forest fuel risk New mountain pine beetle forest fuel types showing 3x greater spread rate Cost of controlling wildfire and impacts increasing
4 18 million ha of Dead Pine Forest Conversion to Grasslands CLIMATE CHANGE Savanahfication
5 Mountain Pine Beetle 3X spread rate of healthy stand
6 Increasing Assets With no Attention to Wildfire Risk
7 Area Burned (ha) 450, ,000 BC Area Burned - Last 20 years Av. Area Burned Projection - Next 20 Years Consider Double Fire Intensity By 2050? Area burned 350, year moving average (total area burned) Linear trend (10-year moving average) 300, average 250, , Projected Annual Average 150, ,000 50,
8 2014 Fire Season In Review Number of Fires - 1,333 Number of Human Caused Fires Number of Interface Fires - 33 fires of note Evacuation Alerts - 17 Evacuation Orders - 9 (approx. 4,500 people evacuated) Area Burned - 338,513 hectares (record area burned since 1958) Timber & Infrastructure Values at Risk - over $1 Billion (est.) Lost investment & economic value - > $2 billion Suppression Costs - estimated $300 million

10 Key to Climate Change Adaptation Plan Real Action Required at all Scales Private Land & Property Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Landscape Beyond the Interface
11 Plans Goals and Objectives Goal # 1: Wildfire Adapted Communities Objective 1: Fire Planning & Management The Private Lands Scale Objective 2: Fire Planning & Management The Community Scale Goal #2: Wildfire Resilient Ecosystems Objective 3: Fire Planning & Management The Landscape Scale Objective 4: Fire Management is Incorporated into all Land Management Decisions Goal #3: World-class Wildfire Prevention, Response, and Suppression.
12 Goal # 1: Wildfire Adapted Communities Objective 1: Fire Planning and Management The Private Lands Scale FireSmart Communities Reducing wildfire risk around homes & in communities Applying FireSmart to protect private lands & homes, critical infrastructure & communities Promote FireSmart Home Assessments Convene FireSmart workshops
13 Goal # 1: Wildfire Adapted Communities Objective 2: Fire Planning and Management The Community Scale Local governments play lead role Identify wildfire risks & threats & proactively address issues before fires start Work at all levels to implement plan recommendations Local government planners/developers adopt FireSmart standards Building codes & bylaws ensure compliance Development approval permits reflect mandatory requirements Construction standards developed & enforced
14 Goal #2: Wildfire Resilient Ecosystems Objective 3: Fire Planning and Management The Landscape Scale Objective 4: Fire Management is Incorporated into all Land Management Decisions Wildfire integrated into all resource management decisions Move to active management creating fire resilient landscapes to mitigate running crown fire Wildfire key driver in all land management planning, activities & authorizations 3 regional Landscape Plans complete with 3 more per year scheduled Biggest opportunity & largest shift in business practices Wildfire not currently in the conversation
15 Goal #3: World-class Wildfire Prevention, Response, and Suppression New Fireboss fleet contract Quality Assurance Program Excellence Canada Silver Award Investment to upgrade to all fire IT systems
