Excited to share, development of our Regional Fire Training Centre represents a major leap forward for our firefighting capabilities. Our partnership with the @TheCityofTrail was crucial for securing the land & grant funding necessary for this facility @RDKBdotcom @trailfire941

Today’s weather adds to the already extreme fire risk across the province. Today our crews are focused on being prepared to action fires in these extreme conditions.
A really helpful and informative short video about the upcoming change in weather, and what it means in terms of fire risk. Worth the watch. Upcoming weather event August 16, 2023 via @YouTube

Teck Fire Department has crews monitoring the fire overnight. We appreciated and are thankful for the support from @BCGovFireInfo today, well done!.
Update: Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue advises that this fire is now classified as Under Control, meaning suppression efforts have ensured it will not spread further. Firefighting personnel may remain on the scene, patrolling the fire and extinguishing hot spots. #TrailBC.

Deepest condolences to Firefighter Devyn Gale’s family, friends and to members of the BC Wildfire Service. Devyn will be remembered for her commitment to community, being considerate, hardworking and her smile.
With heavy hearts we lowered our flags at the #RDKB headquarters today in honour of BC Wildfire Fighter Devyn Gale, 19, who died while responding to a blaze near Revelstoke. A tragic reminder of how dangerous the job, and wildfire season, can be.
