ASSINIBOIA — Despite the dry weather and harvest operations underway, Assiniboia Fire and Rescue had only three calls for August, up to Aug. 28.
“We responded to an outside unattended fire in the Town of Assiniboia. As well, we responded to a MVC rescue call and one false alarm,” Fire Chief Terry Lacelle reports.
Lacelle adds fire training for August included training on vehicle fire fighting, scene safety and traffic control.
“We received a generous donation of $2,500 and a new AED for the fire hall from the Assiniboia Kinsmen Chase the Ace fundraiser. We purchased some new chain tips, pickets and chains with the money.”
The town’s fire chief reminds residents that kids are back to school so a reminder to recue speeds, obey traffic rules and be aware of children walking and riding bikes.
“Be especially vigilant around buses and you must stop when the stop arm is out.”
