A serious safety message for all residents of the region. Rapidly warming temperatures are making ice surfaces unstable... Now is not the time to be out on any lake or pond ice.

Wise advice from the City of Salmon Arm about ice safety. Please be careful on all lakes. The CSRD has three outdoor ice rinks open right now in CSRD parks. See what's open on the news tab of the CSRD website.

City of Salmon Arm Mayor Alan Harrison paid us a visit at the Shuswap Emergency Program to talk to Information Officer Tracy Hughes about ways you can be in the loop about emergency situations and be armed with information about emergency preparedness. City of Salmon Arm District of Sicamous

Becoming a firefighter can be child's play! The Eagle Bay Fire Department broke out some toys for a fire training exercise to help keep their skills sharp. We are always looking for new recruits to join the fun at all CSRD departments from Nicholson to Malakwa to the North Shuswap. Call 250.833.5955 or see our website for details.

Here's a look at the CSRD's FREE FireSmart property assessment program and how it can benefit you. (Assessments are for residential or vacant properties.) It's not too late to take advantage of this program... And if you have already gone into hibernation mode, you can still get the assessment this fall and be an early bird on improving your property in the spring!

Our #CSRD firefighters are also part of their communities. In addition to fire safety, they work to make the areas they live in a better place for everyone! Here's one example from the Scotch Creek/Lee Creek Department on Halloween. Thanks to all our firefighters who participated in community events across the region on Saturday night!
