Celebrating service in Kersley!

The Kersley Volunteer Fire Department recently held its Appreciation Night, recognizing members for their years of service and commitment to their community.

Volunteer firefighters give countless hours to training, responding to emergencies and being there when their neighbours need them most. Appreciation Night is a chance to recognize that dedication - and celebrate the milestones reached along the way.

Congratulations to this year’s award recipients, and thank you to all the members of Kersley VFD for your continued service to the community!
