Forestburg Fire responded to a structure fire in town yesterday along with the Galahad Fire Department. Our teams found, rescued and resuscitated the families cat as well as salvaged some important belongings. Unfortunately there was a lot of damage to the contents of the home. Thank you to Galahad Fire Department, AHS EMS, RCMP, Flagstaff County Peace Officers, Atco Power and Phoenix Gas for all of the help.

Keep your eyes open tomorrow for 2021 Highway Cleanup Campaign volunteer crews. Groups will be out to help pick up garbage & make Alberta beautiful for everyone. When passing clean-up crews on the highway be sure to do your part & slow down when passing them! #ABHighwayCleanUp21

Thank you to the Forestburg Communities in Bloom group for completing this project. It certainly has brought life back to the Austin. Special recognition to Retiree Fire Chief Micheal Jahns for coordinating and Terry & Cathy Parsons for their great restoration work.

YAHOO!!!!!! Its time to share what we've had up our sleeve planning:) At a recent Victim Services board meeting, we were discussing how disappointing it was hav...ing to cancel the Annual Charity Checkstop due to COVID, and we were sad for the community as they wouldn't get the chance to come stop by, and interact with all of the first responders, but ,we still felt a strong need to support them. So how do we still do that in these times? Well, we are so excited about what we want to do with your help Flagstaff County has always been such a phenomenal supporter of our first responders and front line workers, and we cannot WAIT to see the town lit up Blue! We really do live in the best County in the world! Please share the poster all over social media, talk amongst yourself ( maybe not face to face though..) and get Creative:) don't forget to take pictures and use the hashtags! #localheroes2020, #flagstaffcounty See more
