The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) is aware of the fire that destroyed three chalets at the Mount Washington ski resort and is relieved that there was no loss of life or injury sustained by the fire. Currently there’s no fire protection service for the private residences on the resort; however, there’s a commitment through the cooperation of government agencies on the establishment of the service as outlined in the Mount Washington integrated resort community plan. Yesterday’s fire brings the establishment of fire protection services to the forefront. The CVRD will continue to work with strata councils and other corporate entities to develop a fire protection service that will meet the needs of Mount Washington property owners.
