There are two big events in the works with local fire departments.

 

This weekend, the The Pas and OCN fire departments, along with the Manitoba Emergency Management Organization, will be hosting a wildfire safety information session.

 

This weekend’s event will take place at the Roy H. Johnston Arena from 1 to 3 pm and is free to attend.

 

Vice Chief Jacob Geddes explains why it’s important to be prepared.

Geddes said there is a lot of interesting information that will be shared, and it is often forgotten or overlooked.

 

A few weeks later, The Pas Fire Department will host its annual fundraiser, the Fireman’s Ball, which will take place at the Wescana Inn on April 11th, and tickets can be purchased through the department now.
