Rural home lost to fire
KIM CANNADY AND JOE KNIEVEL PHOTOS
Daysland and Bawlf fire fighters responded to a fire call on the evening of Tuesday, June 29, to find a fire in the northeast area of Flagstaff County burning. Firefighters tried to contain the blaze but were unable to save the home. Regional Emergency Services Coordinator Kim Cannady says the blaze was started by a barbeque. The Flagstaff County water tender truck also responded from Killam, with Chief Joe Knievel returning to Daysland twice to refill the 2,500 gallon tank to supplement the water supply in Dayslandʼs fire truck. Cannady says that at least one firefighter suffered from heat exhaustion due to the extreme temperatures and was treated on scene.

Just one day after firefighters in the east end of Flagstaff County battled a series of large fires, Daysland firefighters were called out on Tuesday, June 29, for a structure fire in the northeast corner of Flagstaff County. Flagstaff Emergency Services Coordinator and Regional Fire Chief Kim Cannady says the house fire was started by a barbeque that was too close to a wall. He says, “The occupants discovered the fire travelling up the outside wall and called 911, but by the time firefighters arrived the fire had reached under the eaves of the home. “Firefighters tried to contain it to the attic and top floor, but it was too late, and the house was destroyed,” Cannady says. “Fortunately, the occupants were all out of the house so no one was injured.” Cannady says the Flagstaff County water tender was called in from Killam, and the Bawlf Fire Department was also called to assist, “But it was just too advanced to extinguish.” Killam Fire Chief Joe Knievel, who brought the water tender to the fire, says he returned to Daysland twice to refill the truck, which holds roughly 2,500 gallons of water. Cannady says the extreme heat played a part in extinguishing the fire, with at least one fire fighter suffering from heat exhaustion at the scene.

Killam Chamber Saturday markets up and running Ally Anderson Killam News
Howdy my fellow Killamites! What a beautiful weekend for the first ever Killam Chamber Market. It wasn’t too hot out like the days prior, and there were some great vendors there with some wonderful finds. I look forward to future Saturday markets to see what else it brings in! Make sure you check it out, and if you want to be a vendor, make sure you contact a Chamber member to get registered. Ball Family Dental has been busy since opening. It is so fantastic to have this service added to the long list of services offered in town. I know I gotta book myself in soon before she gets even busier! Flagstaff Crafted will be having a pop-up marketplace at the Killam Wild Rose Co-op food store as well as the Sedgewick Wild Rose Co-op Home and Farm Centre. The Flagstaff Scottish Club are going to be having their Gathering of the Clans Highland Festival again this year in August. So exciting to see all of these huge events coming back in action here in Flagstaff County! Hardisty Rodeo isn’t too far away from now. Hopefully it’s a good kickstart to the rodeo season for all of the rodeos in
our surrounding area. Right after will be Kinsella Bullarama, Clover-
lodge Stampede in Viking, and then Bruce Stampede. Yeehaw!
If you see any of these fantastic people this week, be sure to wish
them a happy birthday: Scott James, July 7; Adele Clark and Trevor Abbott, July 10; Jake Lazarick, and to the trusty and fabulous old fart Murray Cholowsky (happy 60th birthday), July 11; Sharon
Moser, July 12; Darlene VanDresar, July 13. Happy anniversary wishes to Melvin and Theresa Kuefler, July 7; Rob and Pam Borth, July 9; Kristyn and Ryan Volk, July 11.
Save the Wait Time
The first of many markets hosted by the Killam Chamber was held on Saturday, July 3. It was a beautiful day for a handful of vendors to sell their goods.
