Our hearts are with every family, every first responder, and every community across Northern Ontario impacted by the ongoing wildfires.
Here in Timmins, we understand how quickly conditions can change and how deeply these fires affect our neighbours, our communities, and the people who call the North home. As evacuation orders continue and firefighters work tirelessly to protect lives and property, we want everyone affected to know that you are not facing this alone.
To the firefighters, emergency responders, volunteers, and support teams working around the clock, thank you. Your courage, resilience, and commitment are nothing short of extraordinary.
While we continue to keep those affected in our thoughts, now is also the time to be prepared.
Here are a few important steps every homeowner can take:
• Clear leaves, dry brush, and combustible materials from around your home.
• Keep your roof, gutters, decks, and yard free of debris.
• Prepare an emergency evacuation plan and a grab and go kit.
• Review your insurance coverage and keep important documents in a safe, accessible place.
• Stay informed and always follow evacuation orders without delay.
At DKI - Timmins, we are proud to serve our community through every season and every challenge. When it is safe to return and the recovery begins, our team will be here to help families, businesses, and communities rebuild with the care, expertise, and compassion they deserve.
Until then, please stay safe, look after one another, and continue supporting those who need it most.
