Clearwater & Area Community Wildfire RoundtableBackgroundIn October 2019, the Clearwater and Area Community Wildfire Roundtable had its inaugural meeting. Building on the current update to the District of Clearwater Community Wildfire Protection Plan and recently completed Wells Gray Community Forest Landscape Fire Management Plan, the roundtable aims to involve volunteer fire departments, fire brigades and others in the forest industry by facilitating coordination and communication of organizations responsible for wildfire preparedness and risk reduction in the region. The area covered by the Clearwater & Area Roundtable is shown on this Area of Interest map. It spans from the Upper Clearwater community, surrounded by Wells Gray Park in the north, to Vavenby/Birch Island in the east, and south to Darfield and Chu Chua. Maps of Clearwater & Area
