Kootenay ʔa·kinq̓uku TREX (Prescribed Fire Training Exchange)

In September 2024, the BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) and ʔaq̓am, a Ktunaxa Nation band, co-hosted a prescribed fire training exchange (TREX) with support from the First Nations’ Emergency Services Society. This pilot project was the first-ever delivery of a TREX in B.C. and will serve as a model for future TREX offerings in other regions of the province.
