Fire season 2010.

2010 Has many challenges. We have come out of a fairly easy fire season in 2009. Climate change is the buzz word. El Nino has certainly affected areas of our country. Our message is simple: Be prepared for anything. Ensure that whatever you did in 2009 is continued. The weather will always be there. Conditions in our Province are definitely changing and before we wipe the !@#$$ out of our eyes we will be in the dry season. Good luck for the season.
