Fire threats in North Kawartha

No doubt everyone is very aware of the wild fire catastrophes occurring across the nation this spring, well ahead of “fire season”.

Personally, I think that besides preserving the water quality of our lake and lake safety, wild fire preparedness should be one of the most important mandates of our lake association.

The recent fire at Jack Lake speaks well to this issue. JLA have water pumps at key locations around their lake, with people apparently who know how to use them.. I don’t think that Chandos does, but I believe we might have had many years ago. Please see the recent FB page posts on the Jack lake fire at the JLA FB site

There is a forest fire preparedness section at Chandossier.com that might be worth a read..

Perhaps this is something that the CLPOA board should put a task force together on?
