Residents of the Tie Lake #7 FireSmart group have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about fire resiliency at an upcoming event.
The Regional District of East Kootenay’s (RDEK) FireSmart program is hosting an education event on Saturday, July 5.
Staff will be on hand to go over best practices for addressing home ignition zones and to answer any questions.
The REDK says it’s always important to have an evacuation plan ready and a to-go bag, especially as the region enters into fire season .
“People will want to make sure that they have a plan for their family if they need to leave their home,” said RDEK communications coordinator Lindsay McMahon.
“Where they are going to go, what they’re going to do and they want to be able to build a kit of important stuff to take with them.”
The event starts at 9:30 a.m. at 6276 Tie Lake Shore Road North.
