The Lloydminster Fire Department has received an award recognizing 20 years of fire prevention and education.
The award highlights the department's ongoing efforts to promote awareness and reduce fire-related risks in the community.
A range of fire safety programs have been developed by the Lloyd Fire Department. They've done community presentations, school visits and fire station tours, library fire safety talks and they undertake routine inspections of homes and businesses.
"Many people think, 'It will never happen to me,' but emergencies can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. That's why we work so hard to promote simple but effective practices, like having working smoke alarms on every floor and creating exit plans for your family. These small actions save lives," said Kris Hill, assistant Fire Chief, Lloydminster Fire Department.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed about safety talks and engaging in simple habits like testing smoke alarms regularly.
