Self-serve sand and sandbag station are available at two North Westside fire halls, as residents begin their preparation to protect their property in case of an emergency this spring
Due to the severity of last summer’s White Rock Lake wildfire, hazardous conditions assessments indicate some Estamont and Killiney Beach properties may be at higher risk for potential localized overland flooding and landslides in the event of heavy rains and snowmelt.
Residents are responsible for filling sandbags on their own at the Killiney Beach main hall Station 101 on 514 Udell Road or they can fill them at the Westside Road Station 102 on 7355N Westside Road N.
When available, self-serve sand and sandbag stations will be announced for residents in the Ellison, Joe Rich and Wilson’s Landing fire areas.
The Regional District of Central Okanagan provides fire protection and suppression services as well as important information for flood and land slippage emergency preparedness.
Property owners in the Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West electoral areas are encouraged to check ditches and driveway access culverts to ensure proper runoff.
