The Strathcona Regional District (SRD) is looking for feedback from Outer Discovery Islands residents on a new Wildland Firefighting Brigade Feasibility Study.
The Strathcona Regional District (SRD) is looking for feedback from Outer Discovery Islands residents on a new Wildland Firefighting Brigade Feasibility Study.
The study report outlines the findings of an in-depth review of the issues and opportunities related to fire safety in the Outer Discovery Islands and makes recommendations for actions that, if implemented, will enable the Outer Discovery Islands to respond in an organized and effective way to fires.
The geography of the region, including the terrain, marine conditions, dispersed population, absence of infrastructure, and the way in which development has occurred would potentially require a unique and unconventional method of providing fire services in this area, so, the SRD
says, full community collaboration and input going forward is extremely valuable.
The report includes recommendations to the SRD based on community feedback received at meetings in June.
The survey can be found at https://srd.ca/outer-discovery-islands-wildland-fire-brigade-feasibility-study/ and needs to be submitted by December 2nd.
