Our Engine 5 headed up to Harewood Mines Road yesterday to cheer on riders during Day 6 of the BC Bike Race. More than 800 competitors are tackling seven days of rugged terrain from Campbell River to Duncan. The final race is happening today on Maple Mountain. Good luck to all the riders out there.

🚨 SMOKE ALARMS SAVE LIVES 🚨

Do you have enough smoke alarms in your home?

The recommended protection is: 🏠 One smoke alarm on every level
🛏️ One outside each sleeping area
✅ Best practice: one inside every bedroom

When properly installed and maintained, smoke alarms provide early warning and can give your family the critical time needed to escape safely during a fire.

🔥 Remember to: ✔️ Test alarms monthly
✔️ Replace batteries as needed
✔️ Replace smoke alarms every 10 years
✔️ Practice your home escape plan

A working smoke alarm can cut the risk of dying in a house fire in half.

Our Engine 3 crew came to the rescue on Wednesday near Oliver Woods, to help nine tiny ducklings who had fallen into a storm drain. Their worried mother flagged down a passerby, who quickly called for help. The crew removed the drain cover and carefully scooped the little ones into a bucket and reunited them with mom, who led her little ones back toward the forest.
