Are you wondering about
By Graham Lucas Anglemont Fire Chief The Anglemont fire department would to thank Harley Edwards and Dave King for their service in our fire department. Harley and Dave, you have helped our department in so many ways. Our training program and our administration is a credit to you and the CSRD. Thank you for your dedication to our department; enjoy your retirement. We are always looking for new members to join our team please call 250-318-7157 if you are interested or have any questions. The CSRD Fire Smart program is trying to help communities like ours make our homes less vulnerable to wildfires. Anglemont Fire Department has 3 representatives trained to do FireSmart
assessments. If you call FireSmart at 1-888-248 -2773 and ask for a free assessment, one of us will come to your home and do a confidential evaluation. This information is only shared with the homeowner. This is not a pass or fail thing, a fire smart assessment shows what can be done to protect your home from wildfires. There are grants available to help you cover some of the costs to implement any improvements suggested by the official FireSmart assessment. I am asking community members to kick start this program by calling and asking for an evaluation. You can also refer to the sign at Fraser and the main road. Please think about this and talk to your neighbour.
