“LADIES IN RED” Two of our main fire attack engines having some TLC during morning “truck checks”. #TenderLovingCare

AND THUS ENDS OUR SHIFT! This morning Banff Fire Department helped Banff EMS on a serious medical call. This PM we stood by as they extinguished a fire in a structure…and I got to do an assessment on a dog that was rescued. The little chap was just fine! #MutualAid #Partnership

That time of the morning. #Baillie🐾 needs her first coffee..er..KIBBLE! : #WorkingDog #DogsOfTwitter #HUSAR #SearchDog

MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK… We have a proud tradition of female firefighters in the Bow Valley. Here, a Banff firefighter is helped into her gear and “buddy checked” before entering a recent structure fire on Banff Avenue. #WomenInFire

NIGHT SHIFT

FIREFIGHTING THUNDER LIZARD Canmore Fire Rescue’s 100’ Bronto Skylift operating on the delta side of the fire at the staff accommodation in Lake Louise. Brontosaurus means “thunder lizard”. It's a big, expressive name, and very evocative of a modern fire attack behemoth.
