Stay in the kitchen while you are preparing food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.

We hope everyone will have a safe 2023!

Fire fighters removed the occupant with the assistance of the RCMP and then ventilated the apartment to remove the smoke. We would like to remind everyone that if you are tired or have consumed alcohol or other mind altering substances, don’t put anything on to cook.

The bell still hangs in the tower, which would have rang to notify the fire fighters of their call to duty shortly after 2:00 am that day. Thank you to the @cityofdauphin & the WAC for acknowledging Captain Scrase & all the other fire fighters that were recognized earlier today.

The MB Fallen Fire Fighters Memorial was officially unveiled in Winnipeg this morning. One of the names etched into that memorial is that of Dauphin’s own Captain Thomas W. Scrase who lost his life September 11, 1936.

This evening the @GetWACd changed their lighting to red to remember the sacrifice of Scrase who would have responded from “The Old Fire Hall” that fateful morning.
