Minitonas-Bowsman firefighters were involved in an ambulance orientation when Shared Health came out to show how we could assist them during an emergency. We learned where equipment was stored on the unit so when something was needed, firefighters could assist with getting it for the medics.

Afterwords firefighters did a training exercise on our snowmobile/ATV rescue toboggon. Although the snow is melting there is still the risk of injuries before the snow is gone. We took turns being the patient and attendant so everyone would feel what it's like to ride on trails and over snow. Our unit also has wheels to enable us to use it all seasons.

On behalf of our department we would like to send our sincere condolences to Hugh’s family and friends and also to his Fire Department family who he served with for so many years. Some of us had the honour and privilege of meeting him this past year while working the fires around Flin Flon. He worked tirelessly from the early mornings to late at night to make sure we were looked after with food and drink. He took the time to always ask how we were doing and how our day was. He was the greatest ambassador for the Flin Flon Department and the entire City. We looked forward to his coffee every morning and all through the day!! RIP Sir.

The City of Flin Flon is deeply saddened to learn of Hugh “Crampton” Devlin’s passing this afternoon, March 27, 2026.

Hugh, who went by “Crampton” among those who knew him, joined the Flin Flon Fire Department in 1979 and kept our community safe with our team for 47 years. He was the longest-serving firefighter with the department, and he was honoured as a leader and a mentor.

Hugh was instrumental in protecting our community from wildfires last summer, and we are grateful for the decades of experience that he imparted to those who follow in his footsteps.

Hugh was deeply involved in our community, with a passion for golf and the Flin Flon Bombers, and he will be remembered as an outstanding role model for both the Flin Flon Fire Department and our city as a whole.
