Airbnb is inviting hosts on Vancouver Island, the Okanagan and the Kootenays to open up their homes for free to wildfire evacuees and firefighters.
The push is part of a program the short-term rental company started in 2012 to help Hurricane Sandy evacuees in the U.S.
It also ran last year in B.C. – the most devastating wildfire season in terms of hectares burned.
Currently, 66 free rentals are available for those fleeing or fighting fires.
