Fire Prevention Week Ends

Thank you for participating in Fire Prevention Week by cleaning your chimney, checking your smoke alarm batteries, making sure you have a family escape plan in place, and checking your dryer vents.  

But we also want to thank you for your safety and vigilance during this past wildfire season. Because of your participation by not allowing fires to start, and by calling in smoke sightings to 911, we had only a few minor incidents that were dealt with swiftly.  

We are in this together.  We appreciate your help.

Can anyone give him a ride to the ferry in Victoria or Nanaimo that day?  He works on Tuesday.

Thanks.
