Want to help those injured in the fire in Wainwright? You can contribute by donating blood, as burn victims require huge amounts of fluid replacement and surgery. One of our members tested the process today. It was quick and only a little uncomfortable, and included free snacks. You can make an appointment online at Canadian blood services website.

Our thoughts are with those affected by the events at CFB Wainwright. The fire station flag has been lowered to half mast and will remain there until further notice. If you would like to help, consider donating blood at Canadian Blood Services or legacy place society is looking for space to billet family member in Edmonton, Calgary, and Red Deer.

Today is the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction and the theme is Resilience Starts at Home. Now in the 11th year since the introduction of the Sendai Framework for disaster risk reduction, one of the targets that’s lagging behind is in resilient housing and early warning. This is one thing that building and fire codes support, as well as sustainable development goal 11 of Agenda 2030. We can’t build houses, but if you message us, we’ll drop some new 9v batteries off for your smoke detectors to support the communities access to early warning.

Last weekend our newest members conducted skills testing and standardization training in order to make sure that there aren’t any gaps or confusion on the fire ground. Great job to the officers and recruits. If you’d like to learn more about joining BFD, visit www.Beisekerfiredepartment.com

This weekend BFD welcomed six new paid-on-call firefighters to the department at their orientation. This was the first class of new members that BFD has brought on in 2026. These firefighters are all NFPA 1010 (1001) qualified or have equivalent experience and education, and includes graduates from schools such as Lakeland College. We’re excited to have them on our roster. If you would like more information on how to get involved, visit www.beisekerfiredepartment.com

Thanks to the support of Council, village administration, and the community, BFD is pleased to announce that we will be moving to a paid on call model. While firefighters will still volunteer their time at the station, they will be paid to attend emergency calls. This is an important step in recognizing the contributions firefighters make to the community and the risks they face while doing so. Chief officers will still respond unpaid to emergency calls.

All the best classes start with a 900 page manual and good coffee. Always hang out in rooms where you aren’t the smartest person.
