We’re feeling ‘flushed’ with joy: the new washroom facility arrived today at Grand Bend beach! Crews haven’t washed their hands of this project yet, so please avoid the immediate area while they wrap up the installation and other restoration work over the next couple of weeks.

Once ready, the washroom facility has an automated cleaning cycle that cleans, dries and sanitizes the whole unit. The facility will help service the north beach in the summertime, as well as provide washroom access year-round.

Last night, LSFES crews trained again, focusing on waterfront operations. These exercises are vital for keeping our firefighters sharp and prepared for any situation, especially those involving specialized equipment. The drills addressed the unique challenges of rescue operations

As the warmer weather creeps in and we get closer to summer, it's important to remind ourselves of proper outdoor summer fire prevention! The smallest flame can quickly and easily become a big fire, so make sure you don't leave your camp fire or BBQ unattended!
