Hazard Rating Climbing

Wednesday we will have moved up to HIGH Hazard Rating.  

This means that starting Thursday, early shift comes into effect.  All spark/flame/hot exhaust producing tools, including metal-bladed tools such as mowers or gas weed whackers etc. must cease work before 1 pm and a two-hour fire watch posted.

(Note that electric chainsaws operated above knee height where the chain won't strike rocks, electric splitters, and electric weed whackers with plastic string are exempt.)

Salt Spring is now in EXTREME.  The other local fire weather stations are sure to follow soon.  

Please be extremely careful with your evening permitted campfires.  Time to dust off your propane campfire appliances.
