As part of our continued efforts to support recovery and resilience, the Jasper Fire Department is running a Residential FireSmart Sprinkler Protection Program. This initiative offers eligible homeowners the opportunity to purchase a rooftop sprinkler kit at a discounted rate.

To qualify for the roof top sprinkler kit at a discounted rate, residents must complete a FireSmart Home Hazard Assessment with the Jasper Fire Department. Complete this form to register and a Fire Department staff member will contact you to set up an assessment. Please note that Home Assessment appointments are subject to last minute changes if the Fire Department is called to respond to an emergency.

Will the Fire Department help with installing my sprinkler?

The Sprinkler Kits are designed to be easy to install. We encourage you to try and install the sprinklers yourself, however, if you require assistance, please reach out to the Fire Department.

What is a FireSmart Home Assessment?

A trained member of the Fire Department will meet you at your property to complete a FireSmart Home Assessment. They will walk through your outdoor space and inspect the exterior of any structures. After the assessment, you will receive a report with recommendations to help improve your property’s resilience to wildfire.
