Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre

About This Site

The Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre is dedicated to telling the story of bushflying and forest fire fighting in Canada.  The goal of the virtual exhibit, FIRE!  History of Wildfire Detection in Canada, is to explore the history of fire detection, an important, but little known facet of Canadian life and history.
