Whereas the BC Wildfire Initial Attack Crews are a critical component of the wildfire response and rapid wildfire suppression in the Province of British Columbia; And whereas Initial Fire Attack Crew Base locations are key to providing timely wildfire suppression efforts, especially in remote and rural areas: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM lobby the provincial government to provide the necessary funding to return and maintain all Initial Fire Attack Crew Bases in their current locations, and not relocate them without significant local stakeholder consultation.
