This job entails: finding free firewood, checking online adverts i.e. Castanet.net classified ads.

Any wood will do provided it is not painted or pressure-treated (these give off toxic fumes which are dangerous to inhale).

Please do your part by not littering. There are public garbage bins for disposal.

Communications

Periodically there is a need to communicate specific information; sometimes an emergency may occur, or a boil water advisory needs to be distributed quickly.

This involves door to door delivery of the given alert or notice; also updating this website under 'ALERT' details.

To assist good communication, there is also a need to update and maintain a current owners and residents list, which includes details of renters.

This job involves canvassing all owners at least once a year for current contact information.
