Keeping things like firewood, dry yard waste and other flammable materials at least 10 metres away from your home helps slow the spread of flames and reduces risk around your property.

For Captain Steve Norton, helping people has always been part of the plan. Inspired at a young age by his father, who was a paramedic, Steve's involvement in the fire service started 18 years ago.👨‍🚒🚒

Steve recently stepped into the role of captain at Sicamous Fire Rescue, where he acts as a leader, mentor and community champion for fire safety and public education.

Outside of the hall, Steve enjoys spending time at the lake with his wife and young daughter, playing hockey, hunting and fishing.
