Suppression and Response

Rapid Response Teams & Aerial Firefighting – Alberta has a fleet of water bombers, helicopters, and air tankers that respond quickly to wildfires.

Controlled & Prescribed Burns – Fire management teams conduct planned burns to reduce fuel loads (dead trees, dry vegetation) and prevent large-scale fires.

Incident Command System (ICS) – Alberta uses a standardized emergency response system to coordinate firefighters, agencies, and equipment during wildfires. 

Interagency Cooperation – Collaboration with federal agencies (e.g., Parks Canada), neighboring provinces, and international firefighting teams.

We created this mind map to represent key ideas and resources related to wildfire prevention. It helps organize our approach and highlights important focus areas at a glance.
