To wrap up Fire Safety Week, members of the Drumheller, East Coulee, and Rosedale halls held an open house at the main Drumheller Fire Hall on Saturday, October 14. The public got to have an up close and personal look at some of the equipment used by the fire department, including the rescue boat and the LUCAS automated chest compression system, enjoy some hot dogs and cake, and even take a ride in a firetruck. Drumheller Fire Chief Derian Rosario and members of the department also put on demonstrations and spoke about safety in the kitchen and with other cooking appliances such as barbecue grills. Using a cup attached to a long pole, firefighters demonstrated the dangers of pouring water on a hot oil fire to extinguish it.
