Class video from the Alma (Nova Scotia) Fire Departments custom Engine Company Operations course this past weekend. This session has been a favourite among the fire departments we have trained with. If your department is interested in our classes contact us at: [email protected]

Members of our department spent yesterday evening and all of the day today training with the Fire Training Associates . Our members worked on advancing hose streams into a live fire scenario at the fire trainer in New Glasgow as well as other tips, and techniques to better serve our community.

Well Brandon, your gear is ready for you. God needs good firefighters to keep Hell’s fires at bay. He got a good one with you. Rest Easy Brother. PS: I kept the helmet salty for you; just this once

It is with heavy hearts we officially announce the passing of Lieutenant Brandon Macleod. LT MacLeod, son of Chief Roger MacLeod was of the finest kind, joining our department in 2013 as a junior firefighter, he worked hard to obtain his Firefighter I qualification and his love for training never stopped. He recently took role as training officer where he excelled, planning and directing training sessions nearly every week. We will miss our lieutenant, our friend, our brother.... Rest easy Lou, go get em on the other side brother. https://eaglesfuneralhome.com//Brandon-MacL/obituary.html

As many of you may know, we have had a pretty terrible week, to put it blatantly. This post is to thank everyone for the over whelming support from the community. From our members and auxiliary coming together, parents dropping off food, neighbouring departments dropping off coffee and snacks, local businesses making donations of food, the support has been amazing. Attached is photos of the multiple drop offs that have been made to our station, as well as a write up and phot...o from a member of the public that saw one of our crews that were taking a break from putting equipment back in service to go have breakfast. We can’t thank you all enough for what you’ve done.
