“First of all, we are very pleased to have signed another mutual aid agreement with Highway 49 Firefighters from the Pelly area,” shared Mayor Brunt. “It feels very good to know we have support from neighbours in our surrounding communities in the case of a substantial emergency.” Brunt reported that one of the Kamsack fire engine truck’s, the older one, is currently undergoing repairs, and it is a relief to have extra support on hand, if needed.
