Our Mission

Holding Government Accountable

BC Fire Truth is a grassroots coalition of survivors, property owners, land stewards, and concerned citizens documenting their wildfire experiences.

We collect firsthand accounts, photographs, and records to build an independent evidence base investigation into the BC Governments Policy  and approach concerning BC Wildfire Service — because the official record is incomplete and the truth is lacking.

Why It Matters

The Official Record Is Incomplete

Suppressed Reports

Internal government assessments of firefighting failures have been withheld from the public and affected families.

Witness Accounts Ignored

Property owners, ranchers and community members who raised concerns about mismanagement were sidelined or silenced.

Policy Gaps Unaddressed

Repeated recommendations from fire experts have failed, leaving communities at greater risk each season, budgets have been wasted, and the loss is staggering

Your Story Is Evidence

If you witnessed firefighting activity, experienced evacuation failures, failed planned ignitions(back burns), any short comings, or have photos, videos, or documents — your account matters. Join hundreds of British Columbians building the record to find the truth
