WLFD conducts fire training & fuel mitigation measures

Courtesy of the City of Williams Lake:

The Williams Lake Fire Department will be conducting controlled burns of long grasses in the coming weeks to mitigate fire risk and conduct training sessions.

Homeowners are being advised that these burns will create smoke, so they may take measures necessary to prevent smoke from entering their homes.

The burns will be conducted between 6 and 9 p.m. weather permitting in the following areas:

Tuesday April 17 - Gibbon Street Water Tower
Thursday April 19 - Hillside Behind Williams Lake Secondary School
Tuesday April 24 - Hillside Behind Boitanio Mall and Vacant Lot Across From The Fire Hall
Wednesday April 25- Stampede Grounds Hill below Oliver Street

Any questions can be directed to the Williams Lake Fire Department at 250-392-4321, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.

Editor's Note - you can also email the City's Director of Protective Services (WLFD Chief) Randy Isfeld who, I'm sure, would be glad to address any concerns you have about the above at risfeld@williamslake.ca
