Our Division Chief of Training, Vince Conrad, retires this month after 34 years of dedicated service. Vince's leadership helped shape the way we train our firefighters, and we are grateful for the lasting impact of his work. Thank you, Vince, and all the best in your retirement!

This Canada Day, consider skipping backyard fireworks. They’re unpredictable, pose a fire risk & can cause distress to people & animals. If you do use consumer fireworks, check for burning restrictions, let neighbours know & follow safety guidelines. halifax.ca/fireworks
