Did you know that building construction is an important thing to know for firefighting? 😱
Just one of the things our menbers will learn in the upcoming Level 1 training.

Kick off your summer vacation with a hearty bowl of chowder, and come meet your local fire department members. The Auxiliary cooks the food, and the Fire Fighters serve it. 😊
The desserts are always stellar... if you know anything about Digby Neckers, you know we like to eat 😎
As always, proceeds go towards helping us be better equipped to help you in your time of need. Hope to see you all there.😍

If you have ever wondered about training opportunities in the area, wonder no longer.
With the development of our own regional training facility underway, the training committee and its certified trainers are putting their heads together to make sure all the area fire departments have access to training.

Our favorite chimney sweep is now WETT certified ❤️ Give him a call so we don't have to pay you an unexpected visit 😊

The members of the Digby Fire Department would like to invite the public to join us on April 11 from 9:30 PM to 12:30 AM for our Annual Fire Department Banquet Dance.

Following our firefighters banquet, we’re opening the doors for a community dance with music provided by the band One Night Only.

This evening is our way of saying thank you to the community for the continued support you show our department throughout the year.

Admission is by free will offering at the door, so come out, dance the night away with your local firefighters, and enjoy a great night of music and community.

We’ll also be sharing more events throughout the year as we celebrate 140 years of providing fire service to our community.

We hope to see you there!

What a great time we had yesterday on the ice. It was awesome to see so many people in the stands and around the rink taking it all in. All for a great cause.

The RCMP had members come in from several different detachments. As for DFD, we had about half a dozen players and then called in a little mutual aid to fill the bench. Big thanks to Digby Neck Fire, Brighton and Barton Fire who brought three, Brooklyn Fire who sent four, along with players from 14 Wing Greenwood and Kingston Fire.

We even lent a couple players to the RCMP to help even things up.

At the end of the day, it was all about having some fun and bringing everyone together. Thanks to everyone who came out to support your local first responders and Clare Digby Minor Hockey.
