LOW

The Fire Danger Rating is set by the BC Wildfire Service.

Low – Plan how you will prepare your home for wildfires by choosing which FireSmart actions to take.

Moderate – Prepare your home by putting those FireSmart actions into motion; yard work, renovations, & maintenance.

High – Prep your emergency kit and ensure you have a working plan that the whole family understands.

Extreme – Pay attention! To the City of Merritt, Voyent Alert!, local news, BC Wildfire Service, and other applicable forms of communication regarding the ongoing fire situations in our area.

The City of Merritt falls within the Kamloops Fire Center and local fire danger rating information is collected from the Merritt 2 HUB. The ratings are updated on the Merritt Fire Rescue Department’s Facebook page, as well as on-site at 1799 Nicola Avenue and approx. 1675 Juniper Drive (across from Pineridge Cemetery). If discrepancies exist, the FWDCR (captured below) is the authority and should be used as the most accurate.
