BFD would like remind people to not ask firefighters what the cause is or what happened, we all sign confidentiality agreements and will not say.

BFD would also like to thank Medivie Health Services for being on site to make sure all firefighters were ok. We’d also like to thank the RCMP for blocking roads for us during the initial attacks. Thank you to Saskpower and SaskEnergy for shutting off the utilities to the house and thank you to the Village of Borden’s maintenance crew for communicating with regarding the water levels in town.
As you can see it takes a lot of people to fight a fire.

June is PTSD Awareness Month and not all injuries are visible.
As volunteer firefighters, we answer the call when our communities need us the most. We respond to emergencies, tragedies, and life changing events without hesitation. While many people see the lights, sirens, and the work we do on scene, they don’t always see the emotional weight that follows us home.
Some calls stay with us long after the trucks are back in the hall. The faces, the sounds, the moments we wish we could change can leave scars that aren’t visible to the eye. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a very real challenge faced by firefighters, first responders, and emergency personnel everywhere.
This PTSD Awareness Month, let’s continue to break the stigma surrounding mental health. Checking in on one another, having honest conversations, and reaching out for support are not signs of weakness, but rather they are signs of courage and strength.
To every firefighter, first responder, and emergency worker carrying the weight of difficult calls, you are not alone. Your service matters. Your sacrifices matter. Your story matters. Most importantly, your mental health matters.
Take care of your crew, take care of your family, and take care of yourself. We spend our lives helping others through their worst days, it is okay to ask for help when you’re facing your own.
Together, we can ensure that no firefighter or first responder fights their battles alone.

🚨🔥 HIGH FIRE RISK & HEAT WARNING 🔥🚨

With the current hot, dry, and windy conditions across much of Saskatchewan, fire danger remains EXTREME in many areas of the province. Our area is also experiencing a high heat warning, creating conditions where fires can start quickly and spread rapidly.

Please do your part to help keep our community safe:
• Avoid unnecessary open fires
• Never toss cigarette butts from vehicles
• Use caution with equipment that may create sparks
• Keep trailers/chains from dragging on roadways
• Ensure ATV’s and machinery are in good working order
• Report smoke or fire immediately by calling 911

Even a small spark in these conditions can lead to a fast-moving grass or brush fire.

As temperatures continue to climb, remember to also take care of yourselves and those around you:
☀️ Stay hydrated
☀️ Limit prolonged outdoor activity during peak heat
☀️ Check on elderly family, neighbours, and vulnerable community members
☀️ Never leave children or pets in vehicles

Borden Fire Rescue is asking everyone to stay alert, stay safe, and help reduce the risk of preventable fires during this period of extreme fire danger. 🚒

Today we want to recognize the incredible mothers within our department who balance family, careers, and serving their community with strength and compassion every single day. Your dedication does not go unnoticed.

We also want to thank the mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, and mother figures who raised us, supported us, worried about us when the pager goes off, and helped shape us into the people we are today.

Behind every firefighter is a support system that sacrifices right alongside them, and today we celebrate all of you.
