Did you know? Teams of firefighters work together as a family for 24 hours, or more, at a time. Throughout the shift, their #1 priority is to be READY TO RESPOND. Whether they are sleeping, taking a shower, or buying groceries, firefighters are prepared to drop what they are doing anytime, anywhere.

For this reason, you may see a truck at the grocery store, local restaurant, hardware store, or other retail establishment. Since eating at restaurants every day is cost prohibitive for firefighters, they choose to pool their money together each morning to buy groceries and cook their meals at the fire station. If you've ever been at the grocery store when a call comes in, you've probably witnessed the firefighters stash the shopping basket behind the deli counter, in the dairy cooler, or under the supervision of the butcher, asking, "will you please keep this to the side, we'll be back as soon as we can."

There are several benefits to shopping around town. Children may get an impromptu tour of the Fire truck, crews are able to interact with the public, and the crews support local businesses. Additionally, there are plenty of times where the grocery store was closer to the scene of an emergency than the fire station. Since the entire crew shops together, they are READY TO RESPOND together with all of the life-saving tools and equipment you'd expect!

We hope that you have time to stop and say hi to your firefighters next time you see them. All too often, interaction with the public is limited to emergencies. As much as firefighters enjoy being there to help, it sure is nice to meet people under positive circumstances. Never hesitate to drop by the station to say hi. We love visitors!

RIP, our thoughts are with the family at this sad time

Our firefighting family is in mourning today following the death of one of our Senior Firefighters. He passed away in hospital following a medical episode while on duty this morning.

We are providing support to the firefighter’s family, friends and colleagues during this tragic time.
