Driftwood Collection Pilot Project

Posted by admin on May 2nd, 2010 and filed under fire department | No Comments »

VICTORIA – The City of Victoria is removing driftwood from Gonzales Beach, in an effort to prevent beach fires.
Crews are collecting pieces less than two meters long, and thirty centimeters wide. The driftwood will be chipped and used on city paths, and in flower beds.

Each year, the Victoria Fire Department responds to nearly 200 beach fires. The Fire Department says a lot of unnecessary effort and resources are poured into fighting these fires. Deputy Fire Chief Paul Bruce says firefighters are often injured accessing the fires in the dark.

The City says the fires also have a serious impact on vegetation and the remnants are dangerous to beach goers. Beach fires are a violation of a Parks Regulation Bylaw, and can result in fines up to $2000.
