Following the Pear Lake Wildfire, the provincial Ministry of Forests commissioned a geotechnical assessment of the area. The results given on this form are reconnaissance in nature and are intended to be a warning of potential hazards and risks. It is not a detailed risk analysis, and further work may alter the conclusions. Please read the appendix of the report for important limitations.
