On Aug. 26 our longest-serving member retired after 65 years of service, the last 12 as accountability officer. Clem Fairclough joined the department in 1961 and reached the rank of captain. He was driven to his last meeting on our 1935 Chevrolet pumper, which he rode on in his first year.

A slight oversight: we’ve just discovered that we didn’t post our 2025 statistics, so here we are. We responded to 581 calls for service in 2025, far beyond our previous high of 500. We thank all our volunteer firefighters, and their families and employers who share them with the community.

A reminder that fire season starts today. That means you need to start checking the provincial burn safe map daily at 2 pm to determine whether you can burn (there is no burning any day before 2 pm). With warmer weather and winds it doesn’t take long for the dead grass to dry out and be a fire risk.
