Firefighters prepared for cold temperatures
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Medicine Hat Fire Services were kept busy on Tuesday, being called to several minor house fires during the day.
With the cold weather the region has been receiving, firefighters say it’s important to ensure their equipment remains in top shape.
“If we don’t have our tools, and they’re not working properly, we can’t do our job,” says Curtis Sjodin, fire prevention officer with Medicine Hat Fire Service. “We have to maintain our equipment to the best of our ability, and there’s a few things we do in winter to maintain them.”
