FireSmart event has been postponed to Saturday June 29th. Details to follow.
We have bare patches, but we also have a metre of snow in other areas. It won't all be gone by next weekend.
The fully funded S100 Wildfire Course will be on Saturday and Sunday, May 18th and 19th.
8:00am start time, Saturday will be about 7 hours of theory. Sunday will be about 7 hours practical.
Instructor is Doug MacLeod. If you don't know him, he has decades of wildfire experience, and played a key role in the fight when the Nk'Mip Fire threatened our community in 2021.
Once you register online for the S100, you will be sent information on 3 online courses. Please e-mail the community association address you were given, or unbaldy@gmail.com so we can add you to the list.
We encourage members of the Baldy Community to consider this free training opportunity. Taking the course does not commit you to fighting fire, but provides a tremendous amount of information. We are not forming any kind of fire department. The more trained people we have, the better prepared we are if a fire should start in the village, or nearby. For all the "flip-flop" firefighters who tackled the gender reveal party fire down the road last summer - consider some formal training, to add to your skill set.

Put Baldy Mountain Community Association in the organization spot.
