THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER
(Continued from page 18)
Shuswap Lions Club, Scotch Creek Super Valu, Ian Bischoff (for lending the hay bales), Pat and Jack Sheppard, Doug and Roxy Kilback, Scotch Creek Bottle Depot and The North Shuswap Kicker. If there are any people I forgot to mention who donated in one form or another toward the Halloween party, thank you. During the Christmas season, families should be aware of the fire safety issues. These include candles that are left unattended, Christmas tree lights with poor wiring that could short out, fire places that are not cleaned out or not properly screened for sparks. In addition to checking these items, it’s a good idea to get the freshest Christmas tree possible and keep it watered to prevent it from drying out too quickly. Since the last Fire News, SC/LC FD was only called out twice, once for a false alarm and the other was for a motor vehicle accident where we set up traffic control. For training, SC/LC FD sent one firefighter to Apparatus Pump Operator
course, two firefighters to Critical Incident Stress workshop in Kelowna, three firefighters to Survival Skills for the First Responder, two firefighters to Fire Officer 1, and one firefighter to Incident Safety Officer. Most of these courses are at the Shuswap Regional Fire Training Centre. In house training involved engine 1 pump operations, hose handling and full duty crew apparatus checks. I attended the Remembrance Day Service at Lakeview Community Centre, which was very well done. This special day has always been very important to me, as I hold a deep regard and admiration toward our Veterans and to those actively serving in our military, for the sacrifices they have made past and present. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the North Shuswap Christian Fellowship for the wonderful Appreciation Dinner they hosted on November 4 for all the fire dept.’s. If you would like to see our team in action, please come on down for a visit on Tuesday night at 7:00 pm.
The Kicker and Staff would like thank all those who have contributed to the Kicker this year. Your ads, your articles and your special events are what makes up our wonderful community newsletter. We wish you and your families and all of our readers the very best that life has to offer. Remember … the most important things in life are actually not things. Spending time with family and friends is truly where we can give and receive much love and joy and laughter!
