West Kelowna NewsWest Kelowna fire chief urges residents to prepare grab-and-go bagsDon't wait until evacuationMadison ReeveAs wildfire activity continues across British Columbia, West Kelowna fire chief Jason Brolund is urging residents not to wait until an evacuation order is issued to prepare a grab-and-go bag. "It is always challenging when we have to ask people to leave their homes in the face of a wildfire," Brolund said. Brolund says the success of any evacuation depends on how prepared people are before firefighters come knocking. "Part of being prepared in advance is having a plan, and part of that plan is having a grab-and-go kit." "As we head into the weekend, this is a great time to throw that grab-and-go kit together," Brolund said.
