Nakusp Fire Dept. volunteers dedicated to helping community

Fire Chief Terry Warren gives a summary of the Nakusp Volunteer Firefighters' year.

The Nakusp Volunteer Fire Dept is a great group of dedicated volunteers from a cross section of the community, and has been busy with several incidents this year, including false alarms to fires to motor vehicle accidents.

Training is continual and includes: auto extrication, self contained breathing apparatus, ladders, hydrants, pumps, hose lays, small equipment, power and hand tools, fire truck operations, structural and wild land fire fighting, incident command, and safety meetings.

The members also get involved in the community with events, fund raising and fire prevention. We are always looking for new members and have a couple of possible applications in the works.
