Facing the Flames: How Canada’s 2025 Wildfire Season Underscores the Urgent Need for Resilience

As Canada grapples with one of its most severe wildfire seasons on record, the call to action is clear: we must be better prepared. With over 11,700 hectares already scorched and major blazes encroaching on communities in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, wildfire resilience has become a national priority.

But preparation isn’t just about firefighting—it’s about education, prevention, and strategic response. That’s where our newest training solution comes in.

New Course: Inferno Insights – Understanding Wildfires

In response to the escalating wildfire crisis, ILScorp has launched a vital online course: Inferno Insights – Understanding Wildfires. This training is designed for insurance brokers, adjusters, and professionals in wildfire-prone industries who need actionable knowledge to protect people, property, and communities.

Explore topics including:

•      Natural vs. human-caused wildfires and how to mitigate both
•      The impact of climate change and “zombie fires” on fire seasons
•      Lessons from real disasters like the 2024 Jasper wildfire
•      Fire-resistant building practices and defensible space design
•      How to explain wildfire coverage, exclusions, and endorsements
•      The evolving role of adjusters in recovery and client care

Whether you’re helping clients recover from a loss or preparing them to avoid one, this course equips you with practical, real-world insights rooted in the Canadian wildfire experience.

Why This Course Matters Now

The Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) reports that insured losses from wildfires have skyrocketed—from $84 million annually between 2003 and 2014 to over $700 million per year in the past decade. The 2024 Jasper wildfire alone caused more than $1.1 billion in damages and displaced over 25,000 residents.

And the risk is spreading. Fires in 2025 have already devastated parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, with early-season blazes larger than ever expected. This is no longer just a Western Canada issue—it’s a nationwide emergency.
