The Foundation of SparkProof
Wildfires have been causing devastating destruction throughout BC for decades, and we at SparkProof are here to assist property owners with wildfire protection.
Dean Sinclair, a wildfire mitigation specialist and Registered Professional Forester, noticed a gap in professional wildland-urban interface fire-risk assessments and reduction strategies for houses, ranches and businesses in the Thompson-Okanagan region, so he decided to take action.
With more than 25 years of experience in the forestry industry and a comprehensive understanding of sustainable forest management, wildfire prevention and mitigation, forest ecosystems, landscape dynamics and the principles of fire behavior, Dean founded SparkProof.
It can be hard to believe just how much damage one little spark can cause, but residents in our community continue to lose their homes and companies due to embers traveling from wildfires and coming into contact with combustible items.
To create safer spaces, SparkProof works closely with clients to assess risks, develop customized plans and implement effective fire-risk reduction strategies, and because it’s critical that residents are prepared to leave in a hurry, we also help create evacuation plans.
As Dean is a local FireSmart representative, SparkProof follows risk-reduction principles promoted by FireSmart BC and FireSmart Canada, including education, emergency planning, cross-training, vegetation management and development considerations.
Dean also has 12 years of experience in safety management as a Canadian Registered Safety Professional, and his proficiency in this area ensures that his fire-risk reduction plans not only protect against wildfires, but also prioritize the safety of individuals and communities.
Every property has unique needs, and we’re dedicated to understanding our clients’ requirements, preferences and usage patterns.
Wildfire protection starts with being prepared, so protect your land and secure your future by contacting us today.
