The Regional District of East Kootenay and its Fire Smart program will be actively involved in this year’s Emergency Preparedness Week.
Included are three community wildfire fairs, all set for this coming Saturday.
The first will be at the Jaffray Community Hall from 10am ’til 3pm.
The others: both, from 10 until 2, will take place in the Western Financial Place parking lot in Cranbrook and at the Invermere Home Hardware.
Up to 20 groups involved in wildfire prevention and support will be on hand at each of the events.
Information will cover things like how to protect your home, property, and family, in the event of a wildfire.
The sessions will also provide a chance to sign up for the regional district’s Emergency Notification System.
The system will also be tested at 2pm on Friday, May 10th for those signed up.
Details on all of the above information can be found on the regional district’s website: www.rdek.bc.ca.
