Today town staff, first responders, and other supporting agencies will be simulating a response to a large fire to test our Emergency Preparedness Program. This exercise is conducted annually to ensure we are prepared should something occur. Tomorrow we will conduct the second half of this exercise, which will involve running a reception centre out of the Gem of the West Museum. If your interested in checking out what goes into running a reception centre feel free to stop by the museum. We will be up and running from 10am and wrapping up around lunchtime.

Jake, your talent, generosity, and thoughtfulness mean so much to our members. We are grateful and will proudly display your gift at the firehall for years to come!

🔥 FIRE PREVENTION WEEK IS ALMOST HERE! 🔥

Fire Prevention Week runs October 4-10, but we're getting things started a day early with our Fire Prevention Week Kickoff Open House on Saturday, October 3! 🚒

As we get closer, we're also taking you Behind the Role to introduce the people who help make fire prevention happen in our community.

👋Meet Captain Steve Yanke, Fire Prevention Officer with Coaldale & District Emergency Services.

Steve's role is about much more than responding when something goes wrong - it's about preventing emergencies before they happen through education, inspections, preparation, and community outreach.

📱Check out Steve's story in the graphic and scan the QR code to learn more about Coaldale Community Connect and how you can help responders better prepare for an emergency at your home or business.

🚨 Then come see us in person!
📅 Saturday, October 3
⏰ 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
📍 Coaldale Fire Department – 1507 20th Avenue

QUESTION FOR YOU: 👇

🔥 When was the last time you tested the smoke alarms in your home?

Prevention. Education. Preparedness. Response.
