Welcome to our farm fire safety program page, "Building a Farm Fire Safe Community". The FFSC program was created to address the growing concern regarding farm-related fires. Barn/shed, agricultural vehicle and other farm-related fires have led to staggering losses (over $12 million between 2010-2015 in Perth East alone). Fires have destroyed buildings, livestock, vehicles, equipment and often cripple the livelihood of farming families. In Ontario alone, OMAFRA reports farm structure losses of $25 million-$60 million each year (this does not include contents such as equipment and livestock).
The FFSC program is founded on education, awareness and farm fire safety planning within the Perth East and West Perth fire areas.
The FFSC program is made possible by our Partners in Farm Fire Safety:
- Tradition Mutual Insurance Company
- Heartland Farm Mutual Inc.
- South Easthope Mutual Insurance Company
- Perth-Huron Insurance Brokers Association
We also appreciate the support of:
- Perth County Farm Safety Association
- Kinsmen Club of Mitchell & District

Once we've reviewed your completed form, we'll contact you and schedule a visit to the farm property. From there, we'll work with you, your family, employees and the property itself to create a farm fire safety plan. A farm fire safety plan may include:
