Planning your families trick-or-treat route? Add 135 King St. to the list!

Once again, a few of the crew will be hanging around the firehall Halloween night handing out candy and telling spooky stories.

Bring the kids by, show us the costumes and grab some treats. 🍬

We also want it officially noted that this post was created without copying the Thornton Firefighters Association flyer. Mostly because we were told we couldn’t and apparently that’s frowned upon. 😂😂

If Thornton is a little closer to home, our friends at the Thornton Firefighters Association will also be handing out candy at Station 1!

Make sure you stop by and see them. They may only be your second favourite firefighters, but we hear their candy is still pretty good. 😂🍬

See you Halloween night! 🎃🚒

🎅 Well... Santa called the Fire Hall. Apparently, his float failed its pre-season inspection. 😂🚒

A few of your Angus Volunteer Firefighters Association members took advantage of this beautiful afternoon to perform some emergency repairs and get things back into shape.

There was just one problem...

🔥 Usually when firefighters get sent onto a roof, we’re there to cut a hole in it, not fix it! 😂🔨

Special thanks to Angus Home Hardware for helping us out with some much-needed emergency supplies

Today took care of some of the immediate needs, but next year we’re planning a bigger rebuild, including new roof sheeting and shingles, new axles, plus whatever other surprises we discover once we get into it.

🪚 That’s where we could use a little community help!

If you’re doing some renovations and have good leftover building materials, lumber, plywood, roofing supplies, siding, hardware or other materials that might be useful, please keep the Santa float in mind before taking them to the dump or letting them collect dust in the garage!

🎅🚒 For anyone who may not know, although the big man himself oversees the float and hitches a ride on it, the float is owned, maintained and operated by the Angus Firefighters Association and its volunteers, with the full support from the Essa Fire Department.

Many of the items like the Sleigh, Santa's Mailbox and Santas Big Chair were hand made by past members of the Angus Firefighters Association and close community members.

So when you support an AFFA event like the Dart Tournament, Car Wash, Dodgeball Tournament, and other events, there’s a good chance those dollars eventually find their way back into projects and traditions like this one. ❤️

It takes some volunteer hours, a few tools, the occasional donated building material and apparently a group of firefighters learning how to repair a roof instead of opening one up! 😂🔨

🚒🚨 WELL ANGUS… YOU SHOWED UP! 🚨🚒

What an incredible day!

The turnout for our Open House was absolutely amazing. The hall was full, the trucks were busy, the kids were having a blast, and it was fantastic seeing so many familiar and new faces coming through the doors.

We hope you had as much fun as we did! ❤️

Of course, a day like this doesn’t happen without some pretty amazing community support. We want to give a HUGE thank-you to the local businesses that helped us make it happen:

🥩 Country Meat Cuts & Lucy's Kitchen for donating all those AMAZING burgers! Turns out firefighters cooking burgers might be a questionable combination... we’re a little too comfortable with a bit of char. 😂🍔🔥

🌭 No Frills and Angus Sobeys for keeping everyone fed with hot dogs, buns, condiments and more!

☕ Tim Hortons Angus for the coffee, because let’s be honest… coffee was the real MVP. 😂

Please help us show these local businesses some love. Their generosity and continued support of community events like ours means a great deal to us. ❤️

🔥 But this weekend was about more than just having some fun.

October 4th also marked the beginning of 2026, giving us the perfect opportunity to welcome everyone into the hall, have some fun together and, most importantly, share the message of fire safety and prevention.

🎉🚒 AND… DID WE MENTION WE’RE TURNING 60?! 🚒🎉

October 2026 marks a pretty incredible milestone for us: 60 YEARS of serving this amazing community! 🔥

That’s six decades of fire trucks and sirens, community events and fire prevention, helping our neighbours, and generations of members stepping up to serve their community when they’re needed.

The trucks have changed.
The gear has changed.
The hairstyles have DEFINITELY changed. 😂

But one thing hasn’t changed: our dedication to this community. ❤️

60 years of service.
60 years of memories.
60 years of community.

To every past and present member, family, supporter and community member who has been part of that journey, THANK YOU.

And to our firefighters, Association members, volunteers and families who prepared, cleaned, cooked, organized, entertained, educated and kept everything moving throughout the Open House, we couldn’t have done it without you.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who walked through our doors.

You helped us celebrate our community.
You helped us kick off Fire Prevention Week.
You helped us celebrate 60 incredible years.

And judging by the turnout...

We think it’s safe to say Angus understood the assignment. 😂❤️

🔥🚒 THANK YOU, ANGUS! Here’s to 60 years of serving this incredible community and many, many more to come! 🚒🔥

🎄✨ THANK YOU, ANGUS! ✨🎄
What an incredible night of holiday cheer! ❤️ A HUGE thank-you to everyone who came out to wave, smile, and share the magic with us.

Special shout-out to our amazing volunteers who give up their Christmas Eve year after year to make this tradition happen—and of course to Santa for making the trip from the North Pole! and his busy schedule 🛷🎅

And finally… a round of applause for the real MVP: Our member’s phone that hosted the live tracking that started at a questionable 55% battery and, thanks to a super sketchy charger, powered through the night to finish strong at 40%! 🔋😂

📸 We’d LOVE to see your photos! Share your snapshots from tonight’s tour so we can keep these wonderful memories and traditions alive. Drop them in the comments or tag us—let’s make this page shine with holiday cheer! 🚒🔥

From all of us at the Angus Volunteer Firefighters Association, THANK YOU for keeping the spirit alive. Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Until next year—stay safe, stay merry, and keep spreading the joy! 🎁🚒
