FIRESMART FRIDAY

Combustibles don’t always look like the obvious culprits. Plastic patio furniture and toys (or even paddleboards) stored next to the house also pose a risk during wildfire season.

Spend a few minutes moving combustibles at least 10 metres away from your home. It’s a small step that could make a big difference.

The RDBN Civic Address Sign Project is helping improve property identification across the region by providing highly visible civic address signs to rural properties.

Clear and visible address signs help emergency responders identify and locate the correct property, especially at night, during poor weather conditions, or in emergency situations. Civic addressing plays an important role in ensuring properties can be found when needed.

Residents participating in the project will receive a free, reflective civic address sign designed to improve visibility and make civic addresses easier to identify.

This project is made possible by the Next Generation 911 (NG911) funding program, which is administered by the Union of BC Municipalities and funded by the Province of BC.

Learn more about the project and order your sign at:
