Big week of training at the Cardigan Fire Department this week.

On Sunday morning, members took part in one of our quarterly training sessions — larger-scale trainings that we don’t always have time for during our regular monthly training nights. This session focused on vehicle stabilization and extrication using the jaws of life. Tuesday evening, crews were back at it on the water getting hands-on training with our new rescue boat.

A big thank you to Darcy at Cardigan Garage for supplying vehicles for us to train on, and to Harold Brothers for allowing us to use his parking lot.

We’re proud of the time and effort our volunteers continue to put in to sharpen their skills and serve our community safely!

From all of us at the Cardigan Fire Department, We appreciate your support (and pizza!)

At Famous Peppers, community has always been at the heart of what we do.

We’re proud to congratulate the Cardigan Fire Department on receiving a donation raised through last month’s Pizza of the Moment promotion. A portion of every feature pizza sold was directed toward supporting a local fire department — and this year, we were honoured to give back to Cardigan, where Famous Peppers started!

Thank you to the dedicated members of the department for your continued hard work and service to our community. We hope you enjoyed the pizza!

A special thanks as well to Bogside Brewing for generously contributing some of their delicious beverages to help us celebrate.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to support the people who support all of us. ❤️🍕

🎄❄️ Christmas Morning Callout ❄️🎄
While many were opening presents and enjoying a quiet Christmas morning, Cardigan Fire Department was called to assist with a cross-country skiing mishap on the Cardigan Trails.

Our rescue quad and sled got a festive workout, making their way down the trails to help get the skier safely back out. Thankfully, it was a reminder that even peaceful holiday activities can come with a little adventure!

We’re happy to report everyone was cared for, and our crew was glad to help—holiday or not. Please remember to ski safely, travel with a buddy, and enjoy the trails responsibly this winter.

🚒❄️ From all of us at CVFD, Happy Holidays and stay safe!

It is with deep sadness that the Cardigan Fire Department announces the passing of our Fire Chief, Tony VandenBroek.

This year Tony received his 40-year service award, a remarkable milestone that reflects his lifelong dedication to the department and to the community he served with pride.

We extend our sincere condolences to Tony’s family and to all who had the honour of serving alongside him.

Rest easy, Chief. We’ll take it from here. 🕊️❤️
