PERSONAL EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

With the onset of warm, dry weather comes the possibility of increased wildland fire activity.  Residents in high-risk interface fire areas can prepare ahead by organizing a family emergency kit and making sure they have a family emergency plan.  For more information on preparing for fire season go to:

A good resource for monitoring wildland fire risk is the Provincial Fire Danger Rating Map which is updated twice daily:

Ministry of Forests and Range, Protection Branch    http://www.bcwildfire.ca/

BC Office of the Fire Commissioner     http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/firecom/
