Road Mapping Project
The McKenzie Clearwater Fire Department has undertaken the task of identifying all roads and islands properties with our service area as it is very large and consists mainly of unorganized territory.
For Emergency Services to operate effectively, a good understanding of how to identify and get to a location is of the utmost importance.
Time is of the essence in any emergency. A wrong turn could be the difference between life and death or stopping a fire before it spreads to other structures.​
The Road Mapping & Signage Project is 100% funded by donations
from property owners in our service area.
Property Addressing
-
All Properties within the Service Area will be assigned an address.
-
Bell Canada Standards will be followed.
-
An address will be determined by the following formula:
-
Address = (Metres from Road Intersection) / 10 * 2 + (1 for Right side or 2 for Left side)
-
Addresses will be calculated by the MCFD.
-
Where multiple properties are accessed via one driveway, all properties will have the same address each with a unique letter suffix, starting with “A”, assigned in a logical order generally first to last or clockwise.
Island Property Addressing
-
Island Properties will be also be addressed.
-
Many fires over the past number of years have been on islands. Providing Emergency Services with accurate location information is critical.
