Scenario Training at Foxstone Stable

The Duncan Fire Department recently had the opportunity to take part in valuable scenario-based training at Foxstone Stable in Duncan, practicing a challenging scenario involving a victim trapped under farm equipment.

Training for situations like these is incredibly important. Farm and rural emergencies can present unique challenges, and hands-on, realistic scenarios help our firefighters build the skills, experience, and confidence needed to respond safely and effectively to a wide range of potential emergencies.

A huge shout-out and thank you to Georgia Hunt and Foxstone Stable for generously allowing us to use their property and equipment for this training. Opportunities like this are invaluable in helping our crews prepare for the unexpected and better serve our community.

Thank you, Georgia and Foxstone Stable, for supporting our firefighters and helping make this important training possible!

A special thank you to Captain Kyle Woodley for stepping up and answering the call to serve alongside crews from across British Columbia.

Duncan Fire Department continues to proudly support wildfire response efforts across British Columbia.

Pictured here are Alex, Mitch, Spencer, Brian, and Mike, representing the latest rotation of Duncan Fire crews supporting our ongoing assignment at the Big Bar Complex. As crews rotate in and out, our members continue to work alongside wildfire personnel and emergency responders from across the province, contributing wherever they are needed.

Audra is also deployed in support of our colleagues in the Malahat Fire Department.

We want to recognize and sincerely thank all of our members who have stepped away from their families, their regular lives, and, in many cases, their primary employers to answer the call. Their willingness to leave home and serve communities throughout British Columbia is something our entire department can be proud of.

These deployments are demanding. The hours are long, the conditions are challenging and at times dangerous, and the commitment required from our members and their families is significant. Yet, time and time again, our people step forward with professionalism, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to helping others.

A deployment like this is truly a team effort. It takes the members working in the field, the crews back home maintaining our local response, and the families, employers, and supporters who make it possible for our members to go when they are needed.

To every one of our deployed members: thank you. Your professionalism, resilience, and willingness to serve make us incredibly proud to call you members of Duncan Fire.

Stay safe, crew. We’re proud of you and we look forward to welcoming you home.

Duncan Fire Department hosted Mayor and Council for an opportunity to learn more about our operations and the important work carried out by our members. Guests had the chance to wear the protective gear we use on calls, try out some of our equipment, and even put their skills to the test with a game of Jenga using our rescue tools.

It was a great evening of learning, connection, and conversation. A few brave participants also had the opportunity to experience the view from above in Tower 1.

The evening concluded with an informal gathering where members, Mayor, and Council were able to connect and share stories. Thank you to Mayor and Council for spending the evening with us!🔥

Today, Duncan Fire deployed a three-person crew and one of our wildland fire apparatus to Kamloops to support the ongoing BC wildfire response.

They have answered the call without hesitation, demonstrating the professionalism, dedication, and commitment to service that define our department. They will join firefighters and emergency responders from across British Columbia, working together to protect communities and support those impacted by these devastating wildfires.

When our neighbours need help, Duncan Fire is ready to stand alongside them. It is an honour to contribute to the provincial response, and our crew will represent our department and our community with the highest level of skill, integrity, and compassion.

To our deployed members, and to every firefighter and emergency responder working tirelessly across the province, thank you for your service. Your courage and commitment do not go unnoticed.

Please stay safe, look out for one another, and come home safely. Our thoughts are with you every step of the way.

Duncan Fire Department responded alongside North Cowichan Fire Department and Cowichan Bay Fire Rescue to a structure fire in the 300 block of Festubert Street.

This was a very visible fire on an extremely hot day. Thanks to the coordinated efforts of approximately 30 firefighters, the fire was brought under control. With support from Emergency Management Cowichan, thedisplaced residents have been provided withaccommodations and assistance for the next fewdays. Thankfully, no one was injured.

The extreme heat also reminded us of the importance of looking after our crews. Firefighters worked in heavy protective gearunder challenging conditions, making hydration, regular breaks, and heat management a toppriority throughout the incident to ensureeveryone could continue working safely.

We also extend our thanks to the RCMP, BCEmergency Health Services, the Office of the Fire Commissioner, and Emergency ManagementCowichan for their support and assistance on scene. We appreciate the teamwork that helps keep our community safe.

Heat Safety Reminder: These conditions were a reminder that the heat affects everyone. If our firefighters need extra water and regular breaks while working, so do you. Stay hydrated, seek shade when you can, and look out for one another during hot weather.

Thank you to everyone who responded and to ourcommunity for your patience and support.
