Returning home after a wildfire

Re-Entry information packages will be distributed to your door.

Residents returning to wildfire-affected areas should use caution. Even if your home was not directly damaged, smoke, soot, ash and other hazards may remain.

  • Check your property before entering. Watch for structural damage, damaged trees, fallen power lines, sharp debris and other hazards. Do not enter a structure that appears unstable.
  • Protect yourself during cleanup. Wear appropriate footwear, gloves and protective clothing. An N95 mask can help reduce exposure to ash, soot and fine particles.
  • Replace your furnace and/or air conditioner filter. If outdoor air quality allows, open windows and use a fan to help circulate fresh air. Professional cleaning of ducts and air-conditioning systems may also be appropriate.
  • Check food before using it. Refrigerated or frozen food may no longer be safe following an extended power outage. When in doubt, throw it out.
  • Be careful with ash and soot. Wet wiping or mopping is preferred over dry dusting, and only vacuums equipped with a HEPA filter should be used for ash.
  •  

For information about safely returning to your home after a wildfire, please visit OKIB.ca to review the First Nations Health Authority Returning Home After a Wildfire information package.

We also ask everyone returning to be mindful of their neighbours.

Please respect private property, avoid entering or photographing damaged properties that are not your own, and give affected families the privacy and space they need.

Further updates will continue to be shared through OKIB’s official communication channels.
