TCES had a busy end of the week and weekend with the arrival of our new Wildland Unit (which has already gone out on its first call!) and several emergency responses, including a vehicle fire, a mutual aid request from our neighbours in Athabasca, an EMS mutual aid request, and a motor vehicle collision. TCES members did not have much downtime this weekend!

At our Thursday training night we also had the opportunity to meet the owner of AJAX Equipment , who brought out two ARFF (Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting) units for a demonstration. Members were able to see these specialized apparatus in action, learn about their capabilities, and explore the possibility of inter-operability with TCES units.

TCES responded to a mutual aid request with Athabasca County. Highway 63 at the Thorhild-Athabasca border is now reopened.

This week we would like to introduce you to Firefighter Joey Taylor from Station 4 (Radway)!

TCES had a busy Thursday evening, responding to both a vehicle fire and an MVC just before our regularly scheduled training night. Despite the back-to-back calls, members still had the opportunity to participate in a STARS landing zone training session led by a STARS outreach educator.

A huge thank you to STARS for travelling out to provide this valuable training and for patiently waiting nearly an hour and a half for our members to return from the calls. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to refresh our helicopter landing zone skills!!

Did you know? TCES sets up STARS landing zones multiple times a year. STARS may be required for anything from a trauma to a medical emergency so it is vital that TCES members keep their landing zone skills sharp.

Our featured TCES member this week is Firefighter Vanessa Kuzyk from Station 2 (Newbrook)!

This week, TCES members spent the evening sharpening their pump operations skills. Firefighters practiced relay pumping, maintaining consistent water pressure, and moving water efficiently between apparatus β€” all critical components during structure fires and wildland responses.

Pump operations training is an essential part of fireground readiness. Having skilled pump operators and a reliable water supply can make all the difference during an emergency. Not only is an effective water supply crucial for fire suppression efforts, but it also plays a vital role in protecting the safety of the firefighters operating on scene.

Training nights like these help build confidence, strengthen teamwork, and ensure our members are prepared to respond when the community needs us most. Pump operations are always a favourite training activity and tonight was no exception.
