Thetis Island Volunteer Firefighters Society

The Thetis Island Volunteer Firefighters Society is a CRA registered charity in support of the firefighters and eligible for certain firefighting related grants.  A grant is available to registered charities only to improve resiliency to climate change.   We are applying for $400,000 to purchase a 4x4 brush fire truck and a structural protection unit trailer.  The grant foundation requires applicants to submit an account statement prepared by an independent accountant.  As a new charity with very simple books and limited funds, we are hoping there is an accountant locally who would be willing to donate their time to provide this statement.

Interested?  Please contact Graeme Shelford 250-246-1509 or graemeshelford@gmail.com

Nissan Fire Recall

Nissan is recalling over 450,000 vehicles worldwide because a brake fluid leak could cause them to catch fire.

Because of the fire risk, the company is urging owners to park the vehicles outdoors and away from structures if the antilock brake light comes on for more than 10 seconds. 

The recall, detailed in documents posted Friday by the U.S. government, covers the Nissan Murano SUV from 2015 through 2018, and Maxima sedans from 2016 through 2018. Also included are Infiniti QX60 and Nissan Pathfinder SUVs from 2017 through 2019. Most are in the U.S. and Canada.
