Jaffray community turns out for fuel reduction work

The East Kootenay FireSmart Program would like to thank the Sand Creek Lions Club, Sand Creek Seniors Drop-In Centre, and a team of hard-working volunteers for leading a fuel reduction treatment this past Wednesday.

The team of community volunteers, with support from the East Kootenay FireSmart Program, worked to reduce fuel loading on the land between the seniors housing complex and the Jaffray Pub. The Sand Creek Seniors Drop-In Centre prepared and served lunch.

The work completed will significantly increase the resiliency of both properties to wildfire. If you, your community, or neighbourhood are interested in learning more about FireSmart BC or the East Kootenay FireSmart Program, please contact Terry Balan at 250-489-2791 or email [email protected]
