END OF SUMMER THOUGHTS As we quickly see the summer disappear, our thoughts need to turn to what the fall months bring us. It may be a good time to create a “Job Jar”, highlighting tasks that need to be tended to as fall and winter quickly approach. With our Canadian weather system, we know very well that conditions can change overnight and we need to be prepared! Here are just a few: 1. Clean all leaves and gutters of leaves, pine needles and other debris. 2. Remove debris and any dead vegetation away from any building foundations. 3. Check any chimneys for leaves, nests and other debris. Also, ensure any spark arrestors are in good condition and unobstructed of any debris. 4. Be sure all fuel containers are capped and properly sealed. Store the containers in a shed or detached garage and away from any sources of heat. 5. Stock your firewood away from the house. This will decrease the fire load and lessen fire spread should a fire start in this area. 6. Have a competent, qualified WETT Technician inspect your wood burning appliances and chimneys and conduct any necessary repairs and/or cleaning. These are just a few simple tasks to help motivate you and get you thinking of our next seasons ahead. More tips and ideas will be coming your way in upcoming Town Notices.
