| Our
Fire Department is a very well equipped Fire Department.
We are very fortunate to have the support of the Town and Rural
Municipality of Birtle. Below is a Compressed List Of Some of our Equipment
available to us.
We moved into our
firehall on February 27, 1995, we had our first call out
on February 28, 1995. We had our Grand
Opening on June 10, 1995.
We have 4 fire trucks.
Each
one serves a specific role.
Pumper # 1 which is our oldest of the
four.
Pumper
#2 which serves as our primary water and foam pumper
Rescue
Unit # 3 which serves many purposes including our breathing apparatus,
Jaws of Life, First Aid, Water Rescue, and our Incident Command Centre.
Our Quick Response, Unit # 4 built by our department is a revamped 4
x 4 which we added a small water supply tank, our water backpacks
and our Forestry
Hose. The Primary Responsibility of this unit is to respond
quickly to a
scene
in which the initial assessments can be made prior to the arrival
of the other units. Also works great
for getting to those hard to reach areas especially in
forest and land fires.
