Huge shoutout and thank you to the team at Opportunity Regional Search and Rescue for teaching our young minds and firefighters the absolute fundamentals of search and rescue! We are looking forward to collaborating closely with them on future searches.
Huge thanks as well to the Wabasca Fire Department for hosting us! 🤝
At the end of the day, working together is the only way forward. When our local emergency services team up, our whole community wins!

ORSAR’s SAR Basics Course is officially underway, bringing volunteers together to build the skills and teamwork needed to serve our communities!

Big news, everyone! The BFD 2027 calendar is officially here!
We wanted to get these out early because, honestly, looking ahead is our favorite past-time. Plus, if you don't buy one now, your future is going to look pretty blank! 😂

A massive, special thank you to Photography by Eiko for the incredible photography. We couldn’t do it without you... seriously, we couldn't! You made sure we all looked picture-perfect.

How to get yours:
🛒 They will be sold at local businesses throughout the community, or you can just shoot us a message right here to claim yours! It makes the perfect gift for a loved one, or just a great way to keep track of time.
All proceeds go right back into helping us secure the vital gear and equipment we need.

A massive thank you to the local businesses that backed us by purchasing ad space. Your support really makes our year!
