FireSmart Neighbours helping Neighbours

In spring 2023 we invited Islanders to have a FireSmart Assessment done on their property.  Everyone who participated was entered into a draw to have a FireSmart work bee at their property, sponsored by FireSmart and PIVFD.  Over the spring and summer many assessments were completed with the final draw being held at the PIVFD Pancake Breakfast in September.  Our winner was ecstatic!  Weather and travel resulted in a wait until November 22, 2023 to complete the job.

Our homeowner welcomed us with open arms and was amazed at what our group of fellow Islanders accomplished in 2 1/2 hours.  

We hope that this project inspires more neighbour helping neighbour FireSmart projects not only on Piers Island, but throughout the FireSmart community.  Things happen in life that can become overwhelming to deal with and having a group swoop in and help can lift spirits, energize and make your community just a little more fire safe through FireSmart.
