Practice equals prepared.
Firefighters recently spent time sharpening their auto extrication skills, practicing the techniques used to safely remove occupants from damaged vehicles.
Continuous training helps ensure we're prepared to respond when our community needs us most.

Not every emergency happens where there's a street sign.
If you're at the cottage, on a hiking trail, or exploring somewhere new, What3Words can help emergency responders pinpoint your exact location.
Three words. One location. A whole lot less guessing.

A backyard fire should end with marshmallows, not a visit from the fire department.
Before you light up:
✔ Never leave them unattended
✔ Have water or a hose nearby
✔ Fully extinguish before leaving
✔ Read the Bylaw
