Last night’s practice put our members through a realistic wildfire scenario that challenged both our skills and teamwork.

Crews practiced drafting water from a creek, establishing and managing multiple water bladders, deploying our portable radio repeater to improve communications, and conducting a tactical evacuation as conditions evolved throughout the evening.

These types of scenarios help ensure we are prepared for wildfires, while strengthening our ability to work together under pressure. It was a great night of training, and every member brought their best effort to the exercise.

A big thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the training a success.

This past weekend, members of our department, along with members from the Keremeos Fire Department, took part in two days of intensive interior firefighter training in Okanagan Falls. We were fortunate to have access to a multi-level apartment building under construction where crews trained on all aspects of interior fire attack, including charging and using apartment standpipes. We are grateful to Greyback Construction for allowing us the opportunity for such realistic training. Great job everyone!

Our department is training today at the apartment building under construction on Highway 97/8th Ave. There is no concern or emergency.
