Slower Than Usual

This past month has been much slower than usual for your department, with only two emergencies to report:

  • At 10:18 a.m. on February 28 crews were sent to a Mutual Aid call to help Eckville Fire with an outside fire west of Bentley just north of Highway #12. There had reportedly been an  explosion in one of the tanks which was now ablaze. Firefighters took careful note of the proximity of the surrounding tanks and extinguished the fire using water and foam, some of which was supplied by Lacombe FD. Once the hot spots were eliminated the BFD was released.

  • And on March 15 at 10:44 p.m. twelve members responded to a medical assist at a home in Lake Trail Estates in Bentley. The resident, who was in and out of consciousness, was assisted to the waiting ambulance and crews helped EMS with care of the patient until RCMP units arrived. The BFD was later released from the scene by police.
