Squamish Emergency Program Emergency Social Services (SEP ESS) has responded to the townhouse fire on Government Road and is providing 72 hour emergency support services to eight affected families while assessing the short and long term needs of the families. The Squamish Emergency Program Society has set up a Fire Fund account at Squamish Saving (branch 81, account 331918) and is currently accepting cash donations.  The Society will assess individual situations and determine recovery needs.  “This is a terrible hardship for everyone who lost their homes,” said Mayor Gardner. “I would like to extend the community’s appreciation to the fire fighters. Their efforts to control the blaze prevented it from spreading to nearby homes.” “Our community is fortunate to have a strong Emergency Social Services program with dedicated volunteers ready to assist families when they need it most,” said Jim Lang, Squamish Emergency Program Coordinator.   Comments Add New Search Write comment Name: Email:  do not notifynotify Website: Title: UBBCode:         -color-aquablackbluefuchsiagraygreenlimemaroonnavyolivepurpleredsilvertealwhiteyellow -size-tinysmallmediumlargehuge   Please input the anti-spam code that you can read in the image.
