Presentation 7:00 pm, May 8th, 2024 at REDWOOD HOUSE

PLEASE ATTEND!

The 2024 wildfire season is upon us. To date we have managed to avoid any major fires in the area but recognize we are living within mature coniferous trees. Our topography is relatively flat and the winds predominantly blow from the west and southwest direction. We are at the mercy of limited and difficult access to some structures and a limited water supply.

As citizens it is our responsibility to ensure we protect our properties to the fullest extent to prevent a loss to our homes and community. We are a structured community of primarily cedar siding, combustible wood shake and older asphalt-shingled roofing materials. Surrounded by trees and storage structures in the backyards that are heavily occupied with peripheral unused items and overgrown vegetation surrounding those structures. This creates a fire hazard to not only you, your neighbours and eventually everyone in the community.

This is a preliminary notification regarding the prospects of a very hot, dry summer with associated extreme fire potentials throughout the province. Further information will be published to all residents with the May 8th presentation. 

This is considered vital for resident attendance.
