FIREFIGHTING THUNDER LIZARD
Canmore Fire Rescue’s 100’ Bronto Skylift operating on the delta side of the fire at the staff accommodation in Lake Louise.
Brontosaurus means “thunder lizard”. It's a big, expressive name, and very evocative of a modern fire attack behemoth.

MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK…
We have a proud tradition of female firefighters in the Bow Valley. Here, a Banff firefighter is helped into her gear and “buddy checked” before entering a recent structure fire on Banff Avenue. #WomenInFire
AND THUS ENDS OUR SHIFT!
This morning Banff Fire Department helped Banff EMS on a serious medical call. This PM we stood by as they extinguished a fire in a structure…and I got to do an assessment on a dog that was rescued. The little chap was just fine! #MutualAid#Partnership
