West Fraser will be burning some more slashe piles around Jim and Nolan lakes the rest of this week.
Thanks to the generous donations from the Green Lake Snowmobile Club, the SGL Fire Department and its Auxiliary, a cheque for $750 was given to the 100 Mile Food Bank.
Just to inform everyone that West Fraser is doing some controlled burns in the Nolan and Jim Lake areas today. Some flames may be visible as they are fairly large piles.
Just letting everyone know that this Friday November 15th the SGL Fire Department will be having a night practice in preparation for the winter months. We will begin at 6:00 pm and will be in the area of Southcrest Road. There will be alot of flashing lights and scene lighting. We will be shuttling water from Access 2 back to Southcrest Road . This is only a practice.

DEBRIS BURNING INFORMATION
Please be advised that burning restrictions might be in place for April 1, 2010.
Darren Wilkinson, Cariboo Fire Centre, is hopeful that a restriction for Category 2 and 3 will be in place at that time.
This means that all machine piled debris, grass burns and hand piles will not be allowed (or to put it another way, only campfires will be allowed).
Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
Thanks for your support.

Email Notification
I have found and installed an email notification plug-in. The benefit is that any registered users will be notified by email once there is a post. For right now, it’s set for plain text. The HTML option is a little dark, so it would need to be adjusted. I’ve got to figure out how to subscribe to it. I’ll let everyone know when I’ ve got the subscription page done.
Let me know what you think.
I’m still looking for a good photo plug-in.
