A message from the Chief:
The Alliance Fire Department would like to thank the County for supplying us with our new Wild-Land truck several years before we were scheduled for it, due to our Village Council’s foresight. The new truck will be an invaluable addition to our capability to respond effectively to grass and bush fires as well its ability to supply foam to combat small vehicle/hydrocarbon
fires and as a rapid response unit for structural fires. But we do have a problem and it is that we are very short of volunteers to staff the equipment we do have! Your community needs you to step up and commit to the 4 hours minimum per year of legally required training needed before I can allow you use (or even ride in) any of your own fire departments equipment in order to “help out at a fire” (as so many have said they are willing to do) The fire department is bound by OH&S laws the same as most organizations and I must enforce them. Every person has a circle they draw around themselves that they will fight to protect
A good person will draw a circle around their family and do everything in their power to protect them
A better person will draw that circle around their whole community
Our monthly meetings are the first Wed. of each month from 7:00 to 9:00 pm
And we also have training on the third Wed. of each month from 7:00 to 9:00 pm
If a Wednesday will not work for you then we can find another night that will work for training you. If you think you can make the demanding commitment of at least 4 hours per year then please contact
Jay at 780 385 0610
