Sadly, despite the incredible generosity and support we receive from businesses in and around High Prairie, theft still happens, regardless of the organization or cause.
This past week, our High Prairie Fire Department training facility was broken into. The locks were cut, and a whole lift of OSB, along with lumber, was stolen.
We want to make it clear that the OSB that was taken was rejected material and did not meet the required standards for structural or building purposes. It was donated specifically for use at our training facility, where it can be used safely for training props and exercises. It should not be used for construction, structural applications, or building purposes.
These materials were generously donated by local businesses to help us improve our training facility and provide better training for our firefighters. It is extremely disappointing to see donations intended to benefit our department and our community taken in this way.
If anyone has any information regarding this theft, saw anything suspicious around the training facility, or knows where these materials may have gone, we would greatly appreciate you reaching out.
Please share this post and help us get the word out. Any information, no matter how small, could help.
Thank you to the businesses and community members who continue to support the High Prairie Fire Department. Your generosity does not go unnoticed.
