An Incident investigation took place with the corrective measures implemented to help prevent this from happening again along with the distribution of an alert bulletin (Dec. 29th, 2015).
Lana S – Camp 63 – On Lana’s first day in camp, she was in the process of entering the water storage building when she noticed an electric space heater sitting in a puddle of water. She immediately unplugged the space heater and elevated it off the ground by using a milk crate.
Honourable Mention – Cynthia L – Camp 61 – On arriving at camp for the first time, Cynthia noticed that the main entrance metal steps were creating a tripping hazard as the steps were not positioned properly.
