Island Fire Safety

Bear Islander · 07-19-2011, 06:38 PM

On Bear Island we are placing 5 gallon backpack style Fire Pumps and Fire Rakes at strategic locations. Usually that means behind cabins with signs pointing to them from the trails. We are also adding them to our trail map.

If you go to our website at www.bearisland.org you will find links for purchasing the Fire Pumps and Rakes. Placing the pumps around has the added benefit of keeping fire safety in peoples minds.

You can ask the local Fire Department to send someone to the island to talk about fire safety to islanders. We have done that a couple of times in recent years. One thing they stress is clearing brush and dead leaves away from cabins.
