  • Community Self-Help to Mitigate Acute Vulnerability to Extreme Risk of Interface Fire
    COMMUNITY SELF-HELP TO MITIGATE ACUTE VULNERABILITY TO EXTREME RISK OF INTERFACE FIRE CURRENT STATUS AND IMMEDIATE NEEDS OF THE MUDGE ISLAND CITIZENS SOCIETY (MICS) May 2018 [email protected] http://www.mudge.ca/fire-prevention/ The Mudge Island Citizens Society (MICS) is a non-profit society which provides support for fire prevention, firefighting equipment and emergency services on Mudge. MICS is not a recognized fire department. It is a community self-help initiative of Mudge residents which provides an immediate response capacity in the minutes and hours before the Wildfire Service or other emergency responders can mobilize and get to the island. Temporary shelters provide some protection for MICS equipment, pending construction of a permanent, fire-resistant building. Maintaining the operational readiness of firefighting equipment without adequate shelter is an ongoing challenge. 2 SUMMARY ▪ Mudge Island is acutely vulnerable to extreme risk of interface fire. During fire season this represents an imminent threat to life, livelihoods & property. This is a public safety issue ▪ Mudge falls through the cracks of RDN & Provincial firefighting resources ▪ The island is too small to sustain an accredited volunteer fire department ▪ Residents have organized for self-help through the Mudge Island Citizens Society (MICS) to prevent & contain fire & render other emergency assistance, until outside help can arrive ▪ In addition to vigilance in fire prevention, MICS has a proven track record of supressing wildfires & responding effectively to other life-threatening emergencies, within minutes ▪ To date, these efforts have been sustained almost entirely through community fundraising efforts and hundreds of volunteer hours per year ▪ A permanent building is essential for protecting the operational readiness of MICS firefighting apparatus & other emergency equipment.
