Partner with WildFire-Ready
Aligned with public safety. Not for sale — no ad placement, no paid features, no white-labelling.
WildFire-Ready is a free, ad-free, bilingual wildfire app for residents of BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. It is a companion to 911 and to official emergency services — not a replacement. Partnership here means supporting a public-safety tool, not buying placement inside one.
We do not white-label the app. We do not sell paid features. We do not run ads. We do not accept sponsored content inside the app. These limits are deliberate. They exist so residents, First Nations, and provincial agencies can trust what they see on the map.
Who we want to hear from
Insurance carriers
Wildfire-exposed property insurers operating in British Columbia and Alberta.
FireSmart community programs
Local FireSmart coordinators, regional FireSmart committees, and FireSmart Canada.
Provincial emergency management
Emergency Management BC and the Alberta Emergency Management Agency.
Municipal fire departments
City, town, and regional district fire services across BC and Alberta.
Indigenous-led wildfire organizations
First Nations fire services, Indigenous-led preparedness programs, and band office emergency coordinators.
Community foundations
Foundations funding rural resilience, wildfire recovery, and emergency preparedness in Western Canada.
What partnership can look like
Funding
Restricted or unrestricted grants. Use of funds includes engineering and maintenance, Indigenous-language localization beyond English and French, and hardware (tablets, chargers, kiosk displays) for evacuation reception centres.
Data partnership
Private-sector fire perimeter data, AI smoke detection feeds, and predictive wildfire spread models. We integrate the data, attribute the source clearly in the app, and link out to the provider. We do not resell or rebrand partner data.
Distribution
Employer rollouts to staff in wildfire-exposed regions, community group recommendations, and First Nations band office distribution. We can provide download links, posters, and bilingual one-pagers for local use.
What we do not accept
These limits protect the credibility of the app. They are not negotiable.
- No sponsored content inside the app.
- No ad placement of any kind.
- No paid prioritization of fires, regions, or alerts.
- No white-labelling of the app for a sponsor brand.
- No affiliate links or referral kickbacks.
Where the project stands
WildFire-Ready is launching in 2026. We do not publish user counts or session metrics yet, and we will not invent them. What we can state as fact is the launch posture:
- Free forever. No ads, no paywalls, no in-app purchases.
- Bilingual English and Canadian French from day one.
- Official Canadian government sources only: BC Wildfire Service, Alberta Wildfire, NASA FIRMS, Environment and Climate Change Canada, DriveBC, 511 Alberta.
- BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba first. Adjacent provinces follow if funded.
Founder and governance
Founded by Jeff Parr, a solo developer based in Western Canada. Non-profit incorporation is in progress. There are no investors, no equity holders, and no revenue model to protect. WildFire-Ready is actively seeking grant and partnership funding — not venture capital — so work aligned with its public-safety mission can continue and expand.
Let’s work together on public-safety infrastructure.
