This may also include assistance with wildfire prevention projects and industry and municipal related FireSmart initiatives. During a wildfire incident, the industry liaison will establish an emergency contact list, identify key infrastructure and communicate critical information between industry stakeholders and wildfire staff. The industry liaison will also be required for services as set out in Appendix “B” of this RFP.
