Capernwray Pond Project

Capernwray has hired a local contractor to enlarge through machine excavation the water storage capacity of one of their ponds.  Although this activity will be taking place over the next few days during EXTREME FIRE HAZARD conditions, the site has been inspected by the Improvement District and Fire Dept. and found to be at an acceptable risk because (a) the excavation in taking place on wet pond soil, (b) dry vegetation from the pond perimeter has been trimmed or removed, (c) the contractor has their own fire truck at the site and it is connected to the Capernwray pump house, (d) the excavation work will take place in the morning when RH values are at their highest and (e) excavation activity will cease by 1 p.m. and Capernwray staff will then post a two hour fire watch at the site as per High Risk Activities regulations.

This information is being posted by the TIVFD to allay concerns that residents may have during EXTREME HAZARD weather about the fire safety of the Capernwray project.  The project needed to be completed before the rains started to refill the pond. 

All requests for High Hazard Activities exemptions during EXTREME or HIGH FIRE HAZARD weather must meet strict criteria before being approved by the Improvement District and the Fire Dept.

Webcam Image

It seems that some people are still not able to get the webcam image from thetisisland.net.  If that's the case, try this "back door":

In the space where the webcam image is supposed to appear, there should be a "broken link" icon, either in the centre or the upper left corner.  Click, right-click, or hold down on that icon, which will bring up a menu, one option of which will offer to open the image in a new window.
Take that option, and it should redirect you to http://www.wgtelectric.ca/cars.jpg - this is the site where the webcam puts the image.  It won't refresh for you, the way it does on thetisisland.net, but you can refresh it yourself.  Or you can go directly to that site, but you'll want to make sure that your browser doesn't hang onto the last image you saw there, much as it is hanging onto the notion that the webcam image is a broken link, even though it isn't.

If anyone still can't get the image this way, please let me know!
