Maintenance work is already underway on this wide-open fuel break on Pyramid Bench, along Cabin Lake fire road. This fireguard acts as a barrier to slow the spread of wildfire, reduces fire intensity close to the community and is a line of defence for responders controlling a wildfire. Work includes selectively removing vegetation, brushing, and burning debris piles as conditions allow. Regular forest thinning is needed to maintain these areas and sustain the benefits of the fireguard.
