Forest ecologist says we need to get fire ‘smarter’ in B.C.

CBC Kamloops interviewed Lori Daniels, a UBC forest ecology professor, about the ways homeowners can make their homes more resilient in case of a fire.

Daniels said we can choose certain plants that are less flammable.

“Looking at our yards and the distribution of plants in our yards,” she said. “Fire-resistant plants would be ones that have moist and supple leaves ones that don’t produce a lot of dead wood.”
