We have been experiencing a fair bit of Radio Noise lately. To mitigate noise please do NOT leave your radios on, in the charger. Also please try to avoid pocket signaling [accidently transmitting while the radio is in your pocket]. Thank you for your assistance, GLF.

Do You Have a kitchen and bedroom fire extinguisher and a fire pump?
Are your extinguishers
current
? Have you checked? Is it time to renew your extinguishers?
Have you set up
your
fire pump and tested
it?
A minimum of a chemical extinguisher (2A 10B C rated) or a compound of water AFFF fire fighting foam extinguisher(3A 21B C rated) should be available for kitchen fires and it is recommended that a second and/or a third extinguisher be available in or near sleep quarters to aid in escaping from a cabin fire.
Fire extinguishers should be upgraded every few years - Great personal investment or gift of perhap ones life!
Do you have your
fire pump
set up and tested?
Do it
now! Don't wait for a fire!
It will be
TOO late!
Great news! Troy VanLoon was successful in applying for BC Hydro "Company Town" funding for Gun Lake Fire.
Again to all of you who volunteer for standby, call out, and
evacuation
captains,
Thank You!
Suggest to your neighbours and friends to also volunteer. Volunteers are our only source of
man power
help. There can be income tax benefits. You all can contribute, it can be a small or large
amount, it is
totally up to you.
Even if you are only at the lake for a week or two during the
summer, you can
help. So please join!
In the event of another fire, we are it (GLF) , there is no one else!
To be able to help fight a fire until
Forestry arrive
(usually
several hours or a day), you must be trained and have taken the S100 course (its free with a
bit your time).
It is required by the Government to be cover by Worker Compensation, as GLF works under BC
Forestry.
Some testing was also done. Hopefully we did NOT disturb any afternoon naps.
The siren will be tested twice a year, once at the beginning of April and again after Thanksgiving. So be aware!
More information will be coming throughout the year, so stay tune to this page!
