Introduction
The Wildfire Interface Focus Group has been formed to provide an opportunity for the community, the Village, the Volunteer Fire Department, the RDCK, the Kaslo and Area D Community Forest Society and the Ministry of Forests and Range to work cooperatively on interface fire preparedness and management.
The Draft Blackwell Community Wildfire Protection Plan and the Fire Smart manual are posted below. Meeting minutes, the dates of upcoming meetings and additional material will also be posted here, so check back frequently. Copies of all of this information is also available through the Village Hall at 353 2311.
