- Emergency Services Report – Presented by Darren Auld, Chief
Its been busy at the Fire Department these past weeks. First Response calls are ramping up. We had a garage fire Monday morning (highway was closed for a short time); devastating for the owners to lose possessions but the family and pets are all safe. As well, the Team did a ‘live’ burn this past weekend, managing to get 4 complete burns from the building.
The Washer/Dryer is serving the team well. With Training on the weekend and an early morning fire call Monday morning, gear was back in service quickly and effectively.
There is 1 more training burn, which is scheduled for April.
Training is going well; the new volunteers are progressing nicely. All is good.
Motion 06/03/22 Accepted by BJ Kapush, seconded by Sacha Torkkeli. Adopted.
