Meet Steve Edwards, Bowen's new FireSmart Coordinator!

The FireSmart Coordinator plays a key role in reducing wildfire risk through education, property assessments, and mitigation efforts. Working under Bowen Island Fire Rescue and in line with provincial guidelines, Steve leads the development and delivery of FireSmart initiatives across the community.

Steve is a longtime resident of the Sea-to-Sky corridor, from North Vancouver to a decade in Squamish, and has proudly called Bowen Island home for the past seven years. With 16 years as a volunteer in the fire service, Steve brings a dedication to public safety and a love of Bowen’s natural landscapes, often explored alongside his two dogs. He’s excited to help bring the FireSmart BC Program to life on Bowen and support the community in staying wildfire-resilient.
