Is there a risk of forest fire in the Kootenay Lake area?
Throughout British Columbia’s vast forests and wilderness areas, forest fires can be a risk depending on seasonal conditions. At Bulmer’s Pointe, this risk will be greatly reduced; deadfall and dried material have already been removed from the property. As well, the community will be equipped with water hydrants and basic fire-fighting equipment will be stored at the caretaker’s property. The community will enforce fire-smart guidelines to further reduce fire risk during construction and residency.
