For training this week our members got a chance to check out Lantz Volunteer Fire Department’s new quint. It was a great opportunity to see their equipment and climb the aerial, thanks to lantz for bringing the truck down!

Earlier this week we hosted a local girl guides group where they got a chance to tour the trucks, check out some of our gear, spray a fire hose and get a lesson on CPR from an Emergency Health Services - EHS paramedic.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by!

Last weekend, 15 members from East Hants Fire Service along with three members from Stewiacke, completed their Basic Fire Fighting course with their fire control weekend. These members put in well over 100 hours of weekend time to complete this course to become interior firefighters.

We were proud to present 3 of our own members; FF. Selina Smith, FF. Tom Bond and FF. Dawson Smith with their certificates and yellow helmets at our business meeting last week, officially making them interior firefighters.

Job well done and congratulations to everyone on the course!

Hey East Hants, with fire season now upon us—take the time to be proactive.

Here are a few ways you can help reduce the risk and stay safe:
✔️ Checking local burning restrictions before lighting any fire
✔️ Clearing dry leaves and debris from your property
✔️ Keeping water or tools nearby if you’re working outdoors

A little preparation goes a long way in keeping everyone safe.

Over the weekend we were paged for a grass fire after this “controlled burn” quickly got away due to the dry conditions and wind. Despite the snowpack only recently melting and what may seem like wet conditions currently, the fine fuels and grass are already quite dry. Please exercise caution when burning and adhere to all burning regulations.
