Fort Nelson Wildfire: A Wake-Up Call for Northern Squamish

Fort Nelson, BC - As the wildfire situation in Fort Nelson escalates, it serves as a stark reminder of the importance of being prepared and supporting those who protect us from such disasters. It is imperative that we take swift and decisive action to protect our forests and communities. As we face the looming threat of wildfires, there is no better time than now to rally behind the Northern Squamish Volunteer Fire Brigade Society and support their vital efforts in safeguarding our community.

The Northern Squamish Volunteer Fire Brigade Society stands as our first line of defence against the ravages of wildfires. Composed of dedicated volunteers who selflessly commit their time and resources to protecting our community, the Brigade is set up to play a pivotal role in emergency response, fire prevention, and community outreach.

With wildfires becoming increasingly prevalent and severe this season, the need for a well-equipped and adequately funded fire brigade has never been more urgent. Your support to the Northern Squamish Volunteer Fire Brigade Society will directly support essential initiatives such as:

1. Training and Equipment: Ensuring that our volunteer firefighters receive the training and equipment necessary to effectively combat wildfires and respond to emergencies with confidence and competence.

2. Community Outreach and Education: Empower residents with the knowledge and resources they need to mitigate fire risks, create defensible spaces around their communities, and develop comprehensive evacuation plans.
