Description

The Salt Spring Island Fire Protection District (“District”) is an improvement district that provides fire protection services to much of Salt Spring Island, BC. In 2015 the Fire Underwriters Survey (FUS) issued a report (“FUS Report”) that, among other items, raised concerns regarding the availability of water for fire flow purposes. The District seeks to explore the option of a portable pumping apparatus to address the identified water supply shortfall.
