CHILLIWACK — Post Creek is a remote subdivision of 80 recreational homes nestled in the picturesque terrain of the Chilliwack River Valley about 38 kilometres east of the Vedder Bridge.
To guard against the spread of any fires in that vicinity and implement what’s known as a “FireSmart” approach, the Chilliwack River Valley Fire Department teamed up with the B.C. Wildfire Service (BCWS) on Tuesday (May 2) to undertake an annual cleanup of the fire break that surrounds part of the Chilliwack River Valley.
“Initiatives like this help support FireSmart and protect properties in the event of a approaching wildfire,” Chilliwack River Valley Fire Department wrote on Facebook.
CRVFD Chief Mike Danyluk, a volunteer just like the other 29 members of the department’s volunteer roster, said the department dispatched one of its trucks with a crew of three firefighters in the joint exercise with B.C. Wildfire Service.
