Campbell River Search and Rescue (CR SAR) will be conducting a door-to-door wildfire evacuation order exercise on Tuesday October 29. Between the hours of 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm, CR SAR will aim to visit every home within the boundary of Harrogate, Erickson, Highway 19A and Hilchey Roads.
What does the exercise mean for residents within the boundary?
• Two members of Campbell River Search and Rescue carrying identification may come to the door from 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm on Tuesday, October 29th and provide wildfire evacuation information.
• Residents will not be asked to leave their home.
• A coloured piece of flagging tape will indicate that the home has been visited during the exercise and CR SAR will remove the ribbon at the end of the exercise.
If residents prefer that CR SAR not come to their door during the exercise, please contact SRD Protective Services Coordinator Shaun Koopman at 250-830-6702 or skoopman@srd.ca to be placed on the ‘DO NOT KNOCK’ list.
