Community Safety

911  Some of us in the village have working land lines. Suggest we look at asking land line people to have their location on a map/list so that people can make emergency calls in situations like this.

Lines Down - perhaps a sharing of procedures and safe distances from live lines. To my knowledge, those fighting the fire did so after the line was dead, but there was an instance in the winter where a member of the community was standing too close to a line, in an attempt to stop people from getting too close.

Cell Service  during Matt's time, there was a Telus technician who was thinking about installing a back up generator for our cell tower. The cell service went down fairly quickly yesterday.

Telus Services in General Doesn't matter what back ups are done up here, our cell tower, our phone lines, and Telus internet are all fed by the line coming up from the Canyon Bridge. A big tree could take that line out.

Fire Co-ordination  People responded including Randal with a water truck - we have trained firefighters in the village, I talked to one of them this morning, that person was not made aware of the fire.
