🔥 **It’s Fire Prevention Week! October 4–10, 2026** 🔥

This year’s theme, Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower,puts the spotlight on lithium-ion battery safety.

From phones and laptops to power tools, e-bikes and scooters, these batteries power our everyday lives. The Alberta Fire Chiefs Association encourages everyone to take simple steps to help prevent battery fires:

🔌 Use the charger supplied with your device or one approved by the manufacturer.
âś… Choose products certified by a recognized testing organization.
📱 Charge on a hard, flat surface, away from bedding and other materials that can burn.
🚪 Keep charging devices away from doors, stairs and escape routes.
⚠️ Stop using batteries that show signs of damage, swelling, unusual heat or odour.
♻️ Take used batteries to an approved collection location—never put them in household garbage or regular recycling.
Safe charging habits help protect your home, your family and your community.

August 15, 2026 was a great example of what can happen when emergency services work together.

At approximately 14:40, Craven Fire was called to set up a STARS landing zone north of town on Highway 20. Lumsden Fire Department attended on scene to assist with an MVC. Their team was able to safely remove the lone occupant from the vehicle, allowing EMS to assess them and prepare for transport to STARS when it arrived. After assessment, EMS decided the patient could be transported to the hospital via ambulance.

RCMP were also on scene, directing traffic and helping keep the area safe for emergency crews and passing motorists.

Everyone worked together, communicated well, and did what needed to be done. It was a good reminder of how important it is to have multiple emergency services working as a team when someone needs help. We’re grateful to work alongside such dedicated crews and appreciate everyone who played a part during this callout.

Last night our team practiced drafting from a slough to fill the engine. Each member learned how to properly set up the suction line to ensure it wouldn’t get plugged, fill the tank and engage the deck gun. It was a gorgeous evening to make a few rainbows!

A SPSA Fire Ban covering the southern half of the province is now showing up on the provincial site. I can't find anything on the SPSA site about it just yet, but I'm guessing we'll get more information soon.

An SPSA fire ban includes Provincial Forests including Provincial Parks as well as within the District (a single incorporated municipality within the NSAD), including, but not limited to, resort subdivisions, northern settlements, and titled and leased properties within the fire ban area.

The ban covers all provincial parks in the province except for Lac La Ronge Provincial and Meadow Lake Provincial Parks.

It's crazy windy and hot out there right now, stay safe everyone!

Much of the province is under a heatwave, with strong winds and extreme fire danger levels. Fires can start easily and spread fast in these conditions.

đźš« This is your reminder not to burn during windy or dry conditions. A small spark can travel long distances and ignite dry grass or brush within seconds.

🔥 Conditions can change quickly, even if things seem safe. Always check the weather and local fire restrictions before starting a fire.

Let’s enjoy the outdoors responsibly.

Happy International Firefighters Day!

Our team is proud and committed to protect lives, property, and communities. They put in the time for training and responding to calls, sacrificing time with their families, friends and often cancel plans.

We also recognize and honour the dedication, courage, and sacrifice of firefighters across Saskatchewan , Canada, and around the world.

If you see a Craven Firefighter or any firefighter, give them a handshake or a pat on the back.
