What a great community we live in!

The Hanlon family graciously donated a burn kit to us to stock in our rescue van. In the kit is multiples of different sized burn blankets and gel packs, shears, tape, emergency blanket and gloves all in an easily identifiable bag.

They did not want to be in the photo but we are extremely grateful for their donation!

Thank you very much! 👏

The weekend of September 12, Souris FD hosted in conjunction with the PEIFFA a pump operators course. This course trains for one of the most important jobs on the fire scene, ensuring water is flowing and keeping the firefighters on the other end of the hose safe.

Along with our 4 firefighters, members from Cardigan, Central Kings, Georgetown, and St. Peter’s were there in attendance

Souris fire department would like to welcome our two newest recruits, Stephanie MacPhee and Lesley Croucher!

They may be new to donning turnout gear but both are not new to the first responder world as they both come with years of experience as paramedics with Island EMS. Their knowledge will be a major asset to the SFD, welcome ladies!

Today Souris Fire Department, along with numerous other departments and agencies es**rted Jenna Croucher and Mike MacKenzie home. It was a very emotional afternoon as they made their way from Saint John across two provinces. Our thoughts have been with the families and friends of the paramedics since Tuesday and will remain for some time.

Thank you to all the motorists who stopped and patiently waited for the motorcade to pass. Those few moments of your time mean an immense amount to the families of the first responders.

To the spectators that lined the streets, thank you for coming out to help bring these amazing medics home. It truly shows how loving this island is.
