Greetings from the sunny Okanagan. A lot has happened recently ...

TERRACE MOUNTAIN FIRE
The Terrace Mountain fire gave us a scary awakening. It prompted me to draw up a new WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN to address the problem of “talk” on how to run away from a fire, but no idea on how to mitigate the fire threat itself. Read my plan on how to convert the talk and endless “studies” to an effective plan of action where we might actually be able to save our homes. I have submitted this plan to the Regional District of Central Okanagan and have met with a favourable response from the Directors and staff there. As well, it was sent to our local MLA Ben Stewart.

The endless debate on a North Westside Fire/Rescue fireboat drags on. The Directors of the Regional District of Central Okanagan have read my submissions to them about the fire boat and have delayed it for another year until the “efficacy” of it can be demonstrated. No one has seen fit to present any “science, photos, concepts, plans, options, or intelligent discussion " to us taxpayers who have to foot the bill. So, I have endeavoured to provide as much information to you as I can. You can evaluate it on its merits, think about it, ask questions. Both plans require a lot of reading, but worth it if you have the time to save both your home and your tax dollars.

I welcome all ideas, input and inquiries.

Sincerely,

Dave
