The Wakaw/Hoodoo Fire Department would like to encourage all residents to take caution around fires and flammable material during this extreme heat. The RM of Hoodoo No. 401, as of June 30, 2021, is in the “HIGH” Fire Weather Index with the likely possibility of moving into “EXTREME” in the coming days (see the link below).

Please take all precautionary measures necessary, such as having water nearby to extinguish your fire pit completely at the end of use, and to put out any sparks/ashes/coals that may stray from the fire pit.

See the link below to look at the Daily Fire Danger Map and tips to help you stay prepared during dry conditions.

The Wakaw RCMP has provided the following tips to help prevent crime on rural properties;

-Having lights in yards

-Security cameras, trail cameras, driveway alarms, etc.

-Locking vehicles, placing hitch locks on trailers, and locks on fuel tanks. Almost all stolen vehicles are left unlocked with the keys in them.

-Keep photographs and serial numbers of any items of value on your property. Having a serial number or identifiable feature allows the RCMP to enter that item as stolen on CPIC, allowing it to be associated and returned to you if it is recovered.
