Sometimes you’re the first person there when something goes wrong.

When someone is injured or suddenly becomes ill, knowing what to do in those first few minutes is important. Before emergency responders arrive, the person standing beside them may be the one in a position to recognize what is happening and provide care.

First aid and CPR training can give you the knowledge and confidence to respond. That could mean recognizing the signs of an emergency, helping someone who is choking, controlling serious bleeding, performing CPR or using an AED until emergency responders arrive.

World First Aid Day is an opportunity to think about how prepared you would be in that moment. Consider taking a first aid and CPR course, refreshing the training you already have or checking that your first aid kit is stocked and ready.

The person who needs your help could be a family member, friend, coworker, neighbour or someone you have never met.

Every emergency call comes with a certain amount of uncertainty.

Firefighters train for different situations so they can respond when conditions change, new information comes in, or the call becomes very different from what was originally reported.

That ability to adjust comes from training, experience, and working together as a crew, especially when decisions need to be made quickly.

“In fire, you can plan everything out to the minute, and a minute before that, everything changes.” - Dan Felix

Whether your plans include time at the lake, camping, riding the trails, gathering around the fire pit or relaxing at home, a little extra care can help keep the long weekend a safe one.

If your plans take you outdoors, check local fire restrictions before lighting a fire and follow any active safety measures in your area.

Have a safe Labour Day.

A fall ride can leave more than mud and leaves caught underneath your machine.

ATVs, UTVs, and dirt bikes can generate significant heat around the exhaust system. When dry grass, leaves, or other debris collects near those hot components, it can ignite and start a fire.

Before and after you ride, take a few minutes to check around the exhaust and other hot areas of your machine and remove any debris that has built up. Be mindful of where you stop or park, especially when vegetation is dry.

Fall conditions can change quickly, and one hot exhaust is enough to ignite dry vegetation. A quick check of your machine can help reduce the risk of a preventable fire.

The Bonnyville Regional Fire Authority is proud to recognize one of our own, Destiny Johnston, on an outstanding achievement!

Destiny, a dedicated firefighter with the BRFA, has been crowned Mrs. Personality Canada 2026.

A message from Destiny:

"Winning Mrs. Personality Canada is a true honour that gives me an even stronger platform to advocate for the mental health and resilience of our first responders and healthcare workers. While my work with Forward Frontline has spanned the country and even reached a global audience, this title brings added momentum to expand peer support and education efforts. Serving our community as a volunteer firefighter and nurse is at the heart of who I am, and this achievement helps ensure that the well-being of those who serve remains at the forefront.

I am incredibly honored to be part of the BRFA and deeply grateful for the support and family I have found within this organization. Thank you all so much."

Please join us in congratulating Destiny on this well-deserved honor and wishing her continued success in her advocacy efforts.

That smoke alarm on your ceiling might not have been tested in months.

With furnaces and fireplaces coming back into regular use this fall, now is a good time to check every smoke and carbon monoxide alarm in your home. Carbon monoxide can be produced by fuel-burning equipment, and because you can’t see or smell it, a working alarm provides an important early warning if something goes wrong.

Test your alarms once a month, replace batteries when needed, and check the manufacturer’s replacement date so you know when each unit needs to be replaced. Taking care of these simple checks helps make sure your alarms are ready to warn you when it matters.

Before the colder weather settles in, test every smoke and carbon monoxide alarm in your home.

Where you live determines what you need before using a residential fire pit.

Within the Town of Bonnyville, residential fire pits require a permit and inspection before use.

Residents in the M.D. of Bonnyville do not require a residential fire pit permit, but fire pits must still follow M.D. bylaws and all active fire restrictions. Any other burning between March 1 and October 31 must be approved through a Fire Guardian permit.

Knowing which requirements apply to your property can help you prepare before you install or use your fire pit.

If you have questions about fire pit permits, approved burning, or the application process, contact Bonnyville Regional Fire Authority.

With wildfire activity continuing across the province, understanding the difference between a Fire Advisory, Fire Restriction, and Fire Ban is especially important.

Questions about Fire Advisories, Fire Restrictions, and Fire Bans are some of the most common we receive throughout wildfire season. Each represents a different level of wildfire risk and may affect outdoor burning in different ways.

A Fire Advisory indicates that the fire danger has increased. Fire permits may be restricted, and conditions are being closely monitored.

A Fire Restriction is implemented when wildfire conditions become more hazardous. Additional measures are introduced to help reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires, and some activities may be restricted.

A Fire Ban is the highest level of fire restrictions and is put in place to help reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires.

Before lighting any outdoor fire, always check the current fire status and the regulations that apply where you live. Requirements can differ between municipalities.

If you live in the Town of Bonnyville, refer to the Town of Bonnyville bylaws for the regulations that apply to you:
