🔥 EMBERS 🔥 A very real threat from any 'nearby' fire!! They can be huge in scale, but just as deadly when small, and can travel HOT for kms.

We notified of you to watch for falling embers when we had a house fire in the area, this is why.

FORESTRY UPDATE: Mission Forestry Dept. has posted "No Motorized Vehicles" signage in the fuel treatment areas on Sabo & Campbell in response to their staff witnessing dirt bikes being ridden the forested areas that the FireSmart™ work was just completed in.

Unfortunate damage to Crown Land trees and compaction of soil has occurred as a result. Forestry is asking residents to respect the significant investment made in forest fuel abatement to help keep the Steelhead Community safer in advance of wildfire season, and is reminding everyone that all motorized vehicles are prohibited in fuel treatment areas.

🚫No motorized vehicles are permitted🚫

Please respect the hard work done and adhere to posted signage.
