The HIZ Specialist is responsible for facilitating the FireSmart Canada Advanced Home Assessment Program, Home Partners Program (BC only at this time) or other FireSmart Canada-sanctioned home assessment programs in their local area, to help residents identify and reduce wildland fire property hazards.
Under direction from a FireSmart Program Coordinator or other community authority, the HIZ Specialist will meet with residents on request to conduct the FireSmart home assessment approved for their jurisdiction, submit assessments for approval, report back to the residents on results, and provide advice and guidance on implementing the FireSmart Canada Home Ignition Zone guidelines.
