A huge round of applause 👏 to Waylon for this incredible gesture and many Thank You’s to all who sponsored and participated.

Thank You for your support in the Municipal Fire Service here in Digby 🔥

🚒A HUGE THANK YOU TO WAYLON MOSHER & DIGBY MARINE! 🏌️‍♂️

Digby Fire is incredibly grateful to local businessman and longtime supporter of our department, Waylon Mosher, for organizing the very first annual Digby Marine Charity Golf Classic at the beautiful Digby Pines.
What started as an idea to bring people together for a great cause has turned into an incredible contribution to our local fire service. Today, Waylon presented Digby Fire Chief Rob Morgan with a cheque for an amazing $31,503.82! 👏
We want to sincerely thank Waylon for all the time, effort and dedication he put into getting this tournament off the ground, as well as everyone who helped organize, sponsor and participate in the event. A special thank you also goes to the Digby Pines for helping make this two-day tournament possible.
And we’re very proud to announce that 100% of these funds will be donated to the Digby Municipal Fire Service Training Facility, where they will help support training opportunities for all 11 municipal fire departments.
This is a tremendous investment in firefighter training and, ultimately, in the safety of our communities.
With this donation, along with the three shipping containers previously donated by Digby Fire, Digby Fire has now contributed more than $60,000 toward the development of this training facility.
We truly believe that when our firefighters have better opportunities to train together, our entire community benefits.
Waylon, thank you for believing in our fire service, supporting our members and taking the initiative to make this happen. We look forward to seeing the Digby Marine Charity Golf Classic continue to grow for years to come!
From all of us at Digby Fire — thank you! 🚒❤️

At last evenings meeting Captain Milner introduced our newest member Hose”Eh”

Hose”Eh” is a bit of a brute. Loves to be dragged around and always has a smile on his face. He does things safely by always being fire call/training ready and being in his gear. Seems like he will fit in nicely.!!

For the real story. Captain Milner repurposed some material laying around and made a Smith’s Cove version to a rescue prop that will go a long way to helping the Firefighters be ready to do rescues. Captain Milner proudly introduced Hose”Eh” to a very enthusiastic & eager group of Firefighters.

Great work Captain Milner on repurposing material into something that we can use.

Give a warm welcome to Hose”Eh” 🔥

⚡️Solar Update ⚡️

Earlier this week the Solar project advanced the next step. It does not look like much but all these baby steps added together get us to a final finished project.

What you are seeing is some trenching that was done. An underground channel dug from where the Solar Panels will sit to the Fire Department to house & protect the power supply so that we get to harness those rays ☀️

NS Power sent an inspector to see the work before the trench was covered and of course they signed off.

If all goes well we could be advancing to the next stage sometime this weekend & into next week which could see the Panels themselves arrive 😉

Fingers crossed 🤞 all does indeed go well.!

Next update when we have it.
