🚒 What an incredible Lacombe Days weekend for the City of Lacombe Fire Department.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy our Lacombe Days BBQ and Junior Firefighter Games. It was great to see so many families, friends, and community members enjoying lunch with us, taking part in the games, and spending time at the fire hall. Events like these are a great opportunity to connect with our community and showcase what we do.

Our BBQ was a tremendous success, with Smoker 1 blazing away all day as our three Fire Chiefs worked the grill, cooking nearly 1200 hamburgers and hotdogs to feed our amazing community. Thank you to everyone that stopped by for lunch and helped make this event so memorable. Shout out to 6th on the Block Quality Meats for supplying our meat, and Fortis for helping out sponsoring the BBQ

Throughout the weekend, our members were also proud to provide standby coverage at the Lacombe Days Fireworks on Saturday evening and the Lacombe Flying Club Fly-In Breakfast on Sunday morning, helping ensure these community events were safe and enjoyable for everyone attending.

We would also like to thank all of our firefighters and everyone who helped organize, set up, cook, and run our events throughout the weekend. Your hard work and dedication made it all possible.
