Did you know CBFPD fire engines utilize CAFS as a tool to help fight fires in areas with limited access to water?
CAFS stands for Compressed Air Foam System, a fire suppression method that mixes air, water, and foam to create a more effective and efficient stream.
A big thank you to Keith Klassen from Waterous for instructing all of our crews on the capability and performance of CAFS. We appreciate the opportunity to continue learning and sharpening our skills to better serve our community.
We have crews assisting with mutual aid coverage while multiple local and state resources are in bound.

Today, our on-duty crew took a brief pause from training to watch the Memorial Day parade as they made their way to the ceremony at the cemetery. We are grateful to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
I see that smiling face on the end.
Miss you Pal!!
