Heavy smoke in the area of Field Rd in Wilson Creek area. Your Sechelt FFs are on scene of a large beach fire.

We’re proud to announce another two completions of the #defigratteciel2020 High Rise Challenge for Muscular Dystrophy Canada! Coastal Fire Team members Steven Achterberg and Mark Walter completed an equivalent elevation hike of 46 floors up Dusty Road this morning. Unfortunately the smoke from the US wildfires obscured the amazing view but not their resolve! Check out the sneak preview from today with the full release coming when all competitors have completed the Challenge...!

The Sechelt Volunteer Firefighters Association was approached by Muscular Dystrophy Canada to build a team to partcipate in the DÉFI GRATTE-CIEL High Rise Challenge. Normally the challenge consists of competitors from over 250 fire departments from all over Quebec climbing 46 flights of stairs with 50lbs of gear to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy. Due to the event being unable to be performed in person this year it became a nationwide virtual event! Without buildings that... tall we have had to get creative and find ways to complete this challenge using the landscape our beautiful home has to offer. Watch this amazing submission by Tyrel Brackett, it's truly one of a kind! #defigratteciel2020 Muscular Dystrophy Canada If you want to check on and support your favourite firefighters' click the Coastal Fire Team link below. https://muscle.akaraisin.com//defigratteciel20/team/302870 Keep tuned in to see more of your Coastal Firefighters hitting the beaches, mountains and streets in support of this great event.

With sadness, our hearts go out to our Brothers and Sisters with the Sproat Lake Volunteer Fire Department who have lost one of their own. Rest easy Brother, we'll take it from here.
