For more much more Information -- see the
Do You Have a kitchen and bedroom fire extinguisher and a fire pump?
Are your extinguishers current? Have you checked?
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!
Do you have your fire pump set up and tested? Do it now don't wait for a fire! It's TOO late!
Again to all of you who volunteer for standby
and call
out,
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 days), 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.
