Fire Safety Committee Update - 2020 Season End

An update from the Fire Safety Committee:

AEDs

The AEDs have been removed from the pump boxes on the lake and also shortly from the Fireboat.  Two of them will be kept in heated cottages on Crane Lake for the winter and accessible for snowmobilers.  One is at 490 Blackstone Crane Lake Rd in Van Koughnetts Bay.  Contact John Raftis – cell number 519-323-6312.  The other is at 14 Crane Country Rd, just west of the marina.  Contact Brad Billings – cell number 519-766-8342.

 

Portable Fire Pumps

All the portable Fire Pumps have now been winterized (tested, drained and half filled with plumbing anti-freeze).  If you need to use one, please go ahead as they are still operational.  However, after returning it to its proper location, please half fill it again with plumbing anti-freeze from the jug located in the pump box.  As usual, the pump from the Camp Point location will be moved to the sled in the Snowmobile shed to be ready for winter use if required.

 

Fire Boat

This winter we will be storing the Fire Boat with Rosseau Road Powersports & Marine.  I will be prepping the boat for storage shortly / winterizing the pump and then arranging for it to be taken out of the water around the beginning of November.

If you have a fire emergency, dial 911 and they will dispatch Seguin Fire Department who will arrive by water (they have their own boat).  A Crane Lake cottager may also respond if they happen to be at the lake when the call comes in.

 

Hazard Marker Buoys

The 3 yellow Hazard Market Buoys deployed by the Crane Lake Association (Bump Rock, Overflow Bay and near the Second Narrows) will be removed for the winter in the next couple of days.  Please take extra caution in these areas if you don’t know exactly where the hazards lie.

Have a safe and enjoyable Fall and Winter and we hope to see you all again in the Spring.

Cheers,

Bruce

Fire Safety - AEDs on Crane Lake

As a member of the Crane Lake Association, you are likely aware of the 5 Fire pumps spread around the lake (6 including the one on the Fire Boat) which are available for cottagers to use in an emergency.

Did you also know that along with each fire pump there is a portable AED? What’s an AED you may ask?

Fire & Water Safety Flyer

The Crane Lake Association has developed a simple Fire Safety brochure which we suggest you print out and post in a prominent place in your cottage. This is a great refresher for owners and invaluable information for guests and cottage renters. As a bonus we’ve added Water Safety tips to this brochure as well.

Fire Notification List

Sign up for the Crane Lake Fire Notification List! When a 911 call is placed for a fire incident on Crane Lake, Seguin Fire Services is notified (who provide fire support to Crane Lake under a contract with the Township of the Archipelago). At the same time, a mass notification is sent out by a company called Northern911 to anyone who has signed up to receive these notifications.
