Sydney River Fire Department - Station 6

08/05/2026

Due to the support we get in our community, we were able to donate our older set of auto extrication tools to another fire department who needed them. They will definitely be put to good use.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Sydney River Fire Department for the generous donation of a complete set of vehicle extrication tools.

Following a careful review of several deserving applicants, our board selected the Terrenceville Fire Department as the recipient of this equipment. They took possession of the tools during Fire School 2026 in Marystown and have been providing the service ever since.

The Terrenceville Fire Department met all prerequisites as set by our board. These included having members complete NFPA 1006 Vehicle Rescue training(as approved by the Fire Services Division) and ensuring the tools would be equipped to a pumper apparatus for response. Notably, the Terrenceville Fire Department now provides coverage to an area that previously had the longest distance between departments providing vehicle extrication services among all applicants.

Sincerely,

Evan Cox
President
NL Association of Fire Services

Another night of training at Sydney River Fire! Tonight our members worked on their auto extrication skills.

Regular practicing of these skills ensures that first responders can safely and efficiently stabilize vehicles, utilize heavy rescue tools, and extricate victims without causing further injury.

As the nights get warmer and brighter for longer, you will notice our members doing practical training in the Sydney River neighbourhood.

Tonight we did a session on the use of smooth bore nozzles. These nozzles provide a solid, more dense stream of water that penetrates intense heat sources, reducing steam production, and often at a lower pressure making the hose line easier to manage.

During National Volunteer Week, it’s worth recognizing the quiet dedication of volunteer firefighters who stand ready around the clock to protect their communities. Balancing regular jobs, family life, and rigorous training, they respond at a moment’s notice to emergencies ranging from house fires to medical calls and motor vehicle accidents. Their commitment goes far beyond duty—it’s a deeply rooted sense of service and care for their neighbors, often performed without expectation of recognition. Thank you to all volunteer firefighters.
