Congratulations to one of our newest firefighters, Alex MacNeil!

Since joining ACVFD, Alex has shown great dedication, a strong willingness to learn, and a positive attitude toward helping wherever needed. His eagerness to get involved, support the department, and continue developing his skills has not gone unnoticed.

We’re proud to have Alex as part of our team and look forward to watching him grow in the fire service. Keep up the great work, Alex

With some much-needed rain over the past week, our members took the opportunity to fine-tune their skills with our DNR gear and wildland truck.

Ongoing training is essential to ensuring we’re prepared to respond safely and effectively to wildland fires, whether in our own coverage area or while assisting neighbouring departments.

Training never stops, and we’re always working to be ready when the call comes—protecting our communities, supporting our fellow firefighters, and safeguarding the natural areas we all enjoy

How does this look for supper tomorrow?!

A huge thank you to Grub Love Co. for stepping up to support the fundraising efforts for the Antigonish Area Fire & Rescue Training Centre project.

This much-needed facility will provide firefighters from numerous departments across the region with access to quality training opportunities, helping them develop the skills and experience needed to better serve and protect their communities.

Support from local businesses like Grub Love Co. plays a vital role in making this project a reality. We greatly appreciate their commitment to strengthening emergency services and investing in the safety of communities throughout our region.

Come out, enjoy a great meal, and help support a project that will benefit firefighters and communities for years to come!
