Training night on our new 5.5 Scott air paks. Selkirk firefighters were also fit tested on our new masks. It was a great turnout and we put these new SCBA’s into service last night. Thank you to Matt Redick, Matt Meagher, and Tony Young from DiVal Safety Equipment for their countless hours working with us.
Now it’s time to sell all of our 4.5 packs and bottles. Spread the word. Let the fun begin. ... See MoreSee Less

Congratulations, that's a huge capital investment towards the safety of Selkirk firefighters. According to an article I read in FireRescue1 magazine (operations Aug 23, 2012) the new 5.5 cylinders offer a weight reduction of 10 percent on average for all of their cylinders. For example, the 30-minute cylinder weighs 12 percent less than the previous model.This means less fatigue for firefighters. Firefighters will still experience fatigue as they operate on the fireground, but the time it takes to reach that point of fatigue will be increased by less weight on their backs.The profile of the new cylinders has been trimmed on average by 10 percent. This improves firefighter mobility and flexibility. Additionally, the cylinder sits closer to the body in the air pack, which provides a more streamline profile that reduces entanglement hazards.

Thank you

A small brush fire broke out at the CSX Railyard in Selkirk on Saturday, January 11.

The Selkirk Fire Department was called to the Railyard around 4:30 p.m. after callers from the CSX property reported a brush fire at the property off of Speeder Road.

The warm temperatures and high wind could have caused this fire to grow and spread, however, it was contained to a small area in the railyard. ... See MoreSee Less
