🔥 **It’s Fire Prevention Week! October 4–10, 2026** 🔥

This year’s theme, Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower,puts the spotlight on lithium-ion battery safety.

From phones and laptops to power tools, e-bikes and scooters, these batteries power our everyday lives. The Alberta Fire Chiefs Association encourages everyone to take simple steps to help prevent battery fires:

🔌 Use the charger supplied with your device or one approved by the manufacturer.
✅ Choose products certified by a recognized testing organization.
📱 Charge on a hard, flat surface, away from bedding and other materials that can burn.
🚪 Keep charging devices away from doors, stairs and escape routes.
⚠️ Stop using batteries that show signs of damage, swelling, unusual heat or odour.
♻️ Take used batteries to an approved collection location—never put them in household garbage or regular recycling.
Safe charging habits help protect your home, your family and your community.

Tonight 10 of our members toured 2 facilities in town.

Thank you to Pat Ivey for giving us a tour of the Ituna Pioneer Health Care Centre. We went over their fire suppression system, protocols incase of a fire and it helped members be more familiar with the layout incase of a fire/evacuation situation. It helped having a fellow fire member that is employed there to give us more helpful information, thanks Lou!

Thank you to Glenn Leontowich over at Sunshine Manor for a tour of the facility as well as talking to some of the tenants about fire safety.

Do you have a business or building in town or the rural area you would like to have the fire department have a tour of? Contact Kendi (306)795-7227 and we can add you to our list!

Thinking of the officers and their families 💙

We stand with our law enforcement partners after a tragic 24 hours across our country.

​We are wishing a full and swift recovery to our two local Melville RCMP officers injured in the line of duty last night, we are also mourning the loss of an SPVM officer and a civilian in Montreal earlier today, and keeping the second injured officer in our thoughts. Also over the last month, two other members of law-enforcement in our country suffered the same fate while serving and protecting others. We work very closely alongside our partners in law-enforcement, EMS, tow companies and so many others and tragedies like this affect us all even as a community at large. May this serve as a reminder of the strength of our community as we all stand up to support those who need it right here locally in their time of need.  check on your friends and neighbours when you see a member of the emergency services team in our community check on them too. We are better together.
