The community of Logan Lake, BC, spent 18 years preparing for a wildfire they hoped would never come... and then it did.
THE TEST is a documentary about the 18 years the community of Logan Lake spent becoming the first Certified Firesmart Community in Canada and the Tremont Wildfire that tested all of their hard work. And it’s about the Firesmart program that helped save the town in the summer of 2021.
