Fire Season and Evacuation Awareness

emergency · May 2019 · Denman Island

An evacuation-themed flash fiction piece highlights the importance of fire caution on Denman Island, noting recent smoldering fires attended by the Denman Island Volunteer Fire Department and the expectation of a significant fire season.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
