Gary Vollet has asked to remind you all that fire season is here early this year, and to properly prepare your cabin for the summer. The prediction for this summer is for conditions similar to 2003, and for those of you who forgot about that year, it was the most devastating wildfire season on record, especially in the Okanagan.
This downloadable file will help you assess the risk to your property, and also provides a wealth of information about how to prevent losses due to wildfire with some very simple preventative measures.
