The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) and the Cariboo Fire Centre (CFC) will be hosting a series of Open House sessions throughout the region to help develop and provide basic emergency wildfire response information to the general public. A total of five separate meetings have been scheduled for the Cariboo Chilcotin beginning March 28 and ending April 6, 2011.
CRD and CFC staff will provide short presentations defining roles and responsibilities in emergency and wildfire responses. The majority of the meeting time will be an open discussion where residents will be able to ask questions and seek clarification on matters related to emergency operations and the Wildfire Management Branch.
“I encourage all residents to attend their closest Open House session and learn more about the CRD’s Emergency Operations and the Cariboo Fire Centre,” stated CRD Chair Al Richmond. “These meetings are in response to some of the recommendations made during the debriefing process following last year’s fires, alerts and evacuations, and will help improve communications and understanding should we find ourselves battling fires or other emergencies in the upcoming years.”
