Pre-incident planning is essential for gathering site and building information so firefighters can respond safely and effectively to emergencies.

Over the last few weeks, groups of our firefighters have been touring the Bow Island Water Treatment Plant to be better prepared in case of an emergency. A huge thanks to the plant operators for the great tour!

The remainder of training this week was a review of our Medical First Response equipment and protocols.
