Environment and weather forecasters are monitoring a multi-day weather pattern that could bring repeated rounds of showers and thunderstorms across parts of Saskatchewan, with some areas expected to receive significantly more rainfall than usual. While it’s too early to know exactly where the heaviest rain will fall, the Vonda area could see periods of heavy rain, and residents should be prepared.

Now is a great time to take a few simple steps to protect your home and property:

🏠 Clean leaves and debris from eavestroughs and downspouts.
🌧️ Make sure storm drains and culverts near your property are clear.
🚗 Avoid parking vehicles in low-lying areas that are prone to flooding.
🪵 Secure outdoor furniture, garbage bins, and other loose items before storms arrive.
🏡 Check your sump pump (if you have one) and ensure it is working properly.
⚡ Charge your phones and keep flashlights handy in case of localized power outages.
🚫 Never drive through flooded roadways—just a few inches of moving water can be dangerous and may hide washed-out roads.

Heavy rainfall can develop quickly, especially when thunderstorms repeatedly move over the same area. Stay weather aware over the next several days and keep an eye on updated forecasts.

Vonda Fire & Rescue will continue to monitor conditions and share important weather information if it becomes necessary.

Stay safe,

Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a Tornado Advisory for parts of central Saskatchewan, including the Town of Vonda. Conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms that may produce a tornado.

⚠️ Be Prepared:

• Monitor weather forecasts and alerts.
• Have a plan in place should conditions worsen.
• Secure loose outdoor items that could become airborne in strong winds.
• Charge mobile devices and ensure you can receive emergency notifications.

🏠 If a tornado warning is issued or threatening weather approaches:

• Move indoors immediately.
• Go to the lowest floor of a sturdy building.
• Stay away from windows and exterior walls.
• Seek shelter in a basement, interior bathroom, stairwell, or closet.
• Leave mobile homes, tents, trailers, and temporary shelters for a stronger structure if possible.

🚗 If caught outdoors with no shelter available:
• As a last resort, lie in a low-lying area and protect your head from flying debris.

⛈️ Remember: weather conditions can change rapidly. A tornado advisory means conditions are favourable for tornado development, not that one has been confirmed.

Vonda Fire & Rescue will continue to monitor the situation. Stay alert, stay informed, and stay safe.

Railway Incident Response Training 🚂

Today, members of Vonda Fire & Rescue successfully completed Railway Incident Response Training, provided by Canadian National Railway Company.

This valuable training enhanced our understanding of hazardous materials, rail transportation risks, scene safety, and the actions first responders must take when responding to incidents involving dangerous goods. Continuous training helps ensure our members are prepared to respond safely, effectively, and confidently when emergencies occur.

A big thank you to CN Rail for providing this important training opportunity and for their continued commitment to community safety and emergency preparedness.

We would also like to thank our friends from the Meacham Fire Department for attending and training alongside us. Working together and learning from one another strengthens regional partnerships and improves our ability to serve our communities.

Training today helps keep our communities safer tomorrow.

Today, Vonda Fire & Rescue conducted a fire drill at Ecole Providence to help staff and students practice emergency evacuation procedures.

To make the exercise more realistic, simulated fires were placed at certain exits, requiring everyone to think quickly and safely use alternate evacuation routes. We are pleased to report that staff and students responded exceptionally well, adapting to the changing scenario and following their emergency procedures effectively.

👏 Everyone evacuated the building safely in under 3 minutes!

We would like to thank the school’s staff and students for their cooperation, preparedness, and excellent performance during today’s drill. Regular fire drills help ensure that everyone knows what to do in an emergency, and today’s exercise demonstrated just how important that training is.

Great job, everyone! Stay safe, stay prepared, and remember: knowing more than one way out could make all the difference in an emergency.

Summer activities can lead to minor injuries—here’s a quick refresher:

🔥 Burns: Immediately cool under running water for 10–20 minutes. Cover with a clean, non-stick dressing.
✂️ Cuts & Scrapes: Clean the wound thoroughly, apply antiseptic, and cover with a sterile bandage. Monitor for signs of infection.
🌞 Heat Stress / Heat Exhaustion: Move to a shaded area, drink water, and rest. Watch for dizziness, nausea, or headache.
🚑 In an emergency, never hesitate or delay calling 911.

Knowing these basics can make a big difference in an emergency. Keep a first aid kit handy at home, in vehicles, and while camping.
