A Wildfire Suppression Agreement (WSA) is an agreement between K’ómoks, B.C. and Canada. The WSA makes sure that wildfires originating on K’ómoks land are responded to by B.C. on the same basis as for provincial Crown land. K’ómoks, B.C. and Canada will share these costs on K’ómoks lands. K’ómoks is not responsible for any costs of fire suppression off K’ómoks lands even if the wildfire originated on K’ómoks lands.
