Temporary base camps that mobilize with the fire season — housing and supporting the crews on the front lines.

Fire camps are temporary base camps established across Western Canada to support wildfire response operations during the active fire season. When wildfires ignite across the forested and boreal regions of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, response teams mobilize quickly to remote staging areas near the affected zones, setting up self-contained camps that house and support the crews working to contain and suppress the fires. These camps provide accommodations, meals, and on-site facilities for personnel deployed for the duration of each incident, operating around the clock wherever wildfire activity demands a coordinated response. Because fire camps stand up on short notice and run for as long as the situation requires, the work is deployment-based, with room and board provided throughout. It's demanding, fast-paced work in a remote setting, supporting the front-line effort to protect communities, forests, and infrastructure across the western provinces during the wildfire season.
