Summerland fire chief Glenn Noble is disturbed by what he sees as a lack of concern about the COVID-19 pandemic in the community.

香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e starting to get very frustrated with the general public香蕉视频直播檚 lack of care,香蕉视频直播 he said, adding that he has noticed people out in the community, despite repeated calls to stay at home.

In addition, he said the fire department has been called to some vehicle accidents late at night, and he wonders why the motorists were out driving instead of remaining at home.

For firefighters, the pandemic has meant some significant changes to procedures.

The weekly Wednesday evening training sessions have all been cancelled, and while crews continue to respond to calls, the process is more complicated and requires more work than in the past.

Noble said firefighters wipe down and disinfect their trucks, gear and protective clothing every time they return to the fire hall.

The preparation work began more than six weeks ago, when firefighters began shutting down operations in order to prepare for the pandemic.

She said all levels of government are repeating the message to stay home and practice physical distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19.
