Documentary showcases Northwest Territories' extensive firebreak construction using deciduous trees for wildfire prevention around cities.

A documentary highlights the Northwest Territories' innovative wildfire prevention strategy involving the construction of extensive firebreaks around cities. These barriers, spanning miles and 600 feet wide, are cleared by logging companies and planted with less flammable deciduous trees like ash and elm. This proactive approach aims to create a complete firebreak ring around vulnerable towns, potentially funded by logging proceeds, to enhance urban wildfire resilience.
