Wildfire Smoke and Debris Cleanup
Wildfire Emergency Preparedness
As wildfires continue to spark and rage year after year throughout Canada and the United States, as well as the rest of the world, it is important that workers protect themselves once the fire has been fully extinguished. Proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the aftermath of a wildfire is a critical component in the safe cleanup of fire debris.
For more wildfire resources, including information on personal protection in the aftermath of a wildfire, please visit the Wildfire Resource Page.
