Cranbrook Professional Fire Fighters Local 1253
2503-2nd Street South V1C 1E3 Cranbrook, BC, Canada

We have had several calls from concerned residents of Cranbrook stating that they have received phone solicitations from the Burn Fund requesting donations. We want to be clear that the Cranbrook Firefighters and the British Columbia Professional Firefighters Burn Fund are in no way associated with these phone calls Cold calling solicitation is a fund raising tactic that we would not support.

Today is identified as #BellLetsTalk day, bringing attention to mental health. With the year everyone has had let’s all just take a minute and recognize it’s ok to say I’m just not feeling ok #bellletstalkday... #Cranbrook #bcpffa #iaffcanada See more

The Santa Claus’ annual tour of Cranbrook on Christmas Eve is a go Over the past several weeks, staff has been working closely with the office of Dr. Bonnie Henry, BC’s Provincial Health Officer to ensure Santa’s tour is done safely and follows all the provincial guidelines. Dr. Henry advises, although Santa is most likely ‘immune’ to COVID-19, it is still important that he and his team remain healthy.... Santa will not be able to accept any kind offerings of holiday treats from the public. Kids young and old are also asked to please respect the physical distancing guidelines when you are outside greeting him as he comes through your neighbourhood. Please do not approach the sleigh. The tour through the community will start December 24 at 4:00pm, and Santa will be escorted by off-duty members of the fire department. The overall schedule provided is an estimate. Every effort will be made to have Santa visit as many areas of the community as possible Christmas Eve. You can track Santa’s progress through town in real-time on our Facebook page ( details to follow )

January is International Association of Firefighters Firefighter Cancer awareness month. Cancer is the leading Line of duty(LODD) cause of death for Firefighters. Sadly in Cranbrook our retiree life expectancy average is 71 years old with cancer being the cause in 90% of cases.... Here in Cranbrook, we are taking steps through better education, awareness and best practices to create a necessary change in culture that will hopefully counteract this unfortunate trend.

Special thank you to Danielle Eaton and her staff at Soul Food. When Covid-19 cancelled the Halloween hot dog cook up at the Cranbrook firehall, Soul Food stepped up and raised over $670 for the BCPFF Burn Fund. We started the Halloween hot dog cook up as a way to give back to the community and once again we are so humbled by this communities generosity. ... #cranbrook #bcpffa #IAFF #soulfood
