Windstorm

TIVFD responded to several "trees on hydro line calls" on Saturday.

This one came down on the Rees and Smirl properties on Clam Bay Road. The power went out so the Smirls quickly extinguished the fire with buckets after calling 911. The TIVFD mopped up a small grass fire afterwards, caused by earlier sparks. A fence was damaged but there were no injuries.

This is just a heads-up that there have been further updates to the Busy Ferry Schedule, click here to view.

Please note that it is a huge help to your friends and neighbours to know about it if you are planning or know about a large group coming onto the island on a given day or a given ferry.  If you are planning an event that will affect ferry usage, please let us know and we can add it to the schedule.
