Fire Hazard now High

All three Fire Weather Stations around us (North Cowichan, Cedar & Salt Spring) are now reporting in at fire danger class 4.  We have also moved up to HIGH DANGER CLASS (4) starting on Saturday. This means that, starting on Monday, High Hazard Activities in or near the forest must be completed by 1 pm.   Please stop your chainsawing, milling, mowing, etc. by 1 o’clock and post a fire watch (look for puffs of smoke) for an hour after you quit work.  

We will keep you posted on our website, ESPOKES, and the community blog when the danger class changes again. The Fire Department Information Board by the ferry will also show the fire hazard rating. 

Thank you.
