Fire Hall Tour Nov 26/2009

The Churchbridge Day Care joined Churchbridge Fire Rescue for a fire hall tour this past Thursday morning. During the tour, the children learned about our turnout gear, our firefighting and rescue eqiupment, and they got to tour the inside of our rescue unit, and engine 1. As always, the most exciting part of the tour was the siren.

Thank you for the poster and cupcakes. We can't wait for you to visit again.

Brush Fire June 25/09

At approx 9:40 pm, a passing motorist reported a brush fire 2 kilometers north of Churchbridge along highway 80. Upon arrival, a section of bush near the highway was fully engulfed by flames. A handline was deployed to attack the larger brush fire, while firefighters attacked spot fires with water backpacks and rakes. The fire was knocked down quickly, but crews stayed on scene for approx. 2 hours to find and cool hotspots throughout the burnt treeline.
