June 2022 FireSmart Event & BBQ
Hayes Creek Fire and RDOS hosted a FireSmart BBQ. It was a great turn out - we had 45 home owners. Dave Stringfellow did a fantastic job on the informative FireSmart presentation. Thank you Dave. Burgers and hotdogs were done to perfection. Door prizes were FireSmart tee shirts, coffee mugs, and 3 WASP kits ($200/e value). It was nice to meet new comers to the area and folks that have been long time residents. Thank you Hayes Creek Community - we are on to our way to being a FireSmart community. If we all work together we can do this.
2019 Annual GEneral Meeting and Meet & Greet - August 4
There were 54 attending the meeting and 150 attending through the day, with sprinkler protection and fire extinguisher demonstrations , with the public doing hands on with proper use of ABC home dry chemical extinguishers.
Trucks were on display and our new wildland station 291 side by side was introduced, with the equipping of it coming along well, thanks to hard work from deputy chief Brent Fraser. The side by side has a water tank, pump, two hose reels, rescue equipment and a patient stretcher.
The lovely quilt made and donated by the "Thursday Crafty Ladies" and was won by Debbie Sanderson. Winners of the 4 gift baskets, artfully put together by Barb Anstie, were Steve Grice, Amilia Sheppard, Bev Hasenpflug, and Jill Copeland. The split load of delivered firewood by Ruth Bourgeon, and the 50/50 draw by Jason Mitchie.
Thank you to all who worked so hard to organize - the kitchen staff for the great food and those attending and supporting - after expenses $2,800.00 was raised for much needed equipment.
Immediately after the draw, the fire department had two code three medical calls at the same time, with one ambulance coming from Princeton and the other from Summerland (as no more were available in Princeton). Fortunately Hayes Creek Fire has two trucks outfitted with rescue/medical bags and oxygen therapy units. Both patients are recovering in hospital (one call at Chain Lake, the other at Osprey Lake).
