We attended the annual seniors day hosted by Black River Matheson Township. We had some great Fire Prevention swag for the seniors as well as a Fire Extinguisher simulator for the seniors to get hands on experience at putting out a fire. Congratulations to Carole Shannon for participating and winning our gift basket.

Day 2 is a wrap, cooler temperatures made it easier on the firefighters for cool down in between sessions. We again would like to Thank the office of the fire Marshall for allowing us to experience the mobile live burning training unit, although a smaller department we appreciate the opportunity and we hope to enjoy this again next year.

Day 1 of 2. The BRM fire dept were fortunate to be selected by the Office of the fire Marshall to have the mobile live fire training unit available to them. This unit travels the province to help train and educate firefighters of all levels.

It was not ideal weather for training, +29 degrees, humid and no wind but the volunteers pushed forward, stuck to the plan and took this great opportunity to experience live fire conditions. Some firefighters experienced a live fire for the first time. Safe and controlled environment is key to proper training. The firefighters will train again on Saturday!

New safety requirements starting January 1 2026

12/29/2025

The Black River-Matheson Fire Department would like to remind everyone that with significant snowfall comes increased risk. Please take the time to ensure all appliance exhausts and vents are cleared from accumulated snow. Check for ice buildup inside and around the exits and ensure your Natural Gas Meter or Propane shut off valves are accessible and free of ice and snow buildup.

This is also a good opportunity to double check your carbon monoxide alarms are in good working order.

Stay informed! Stay safe!
