The Northside Volunteer Fire Department has installed a live-fire training facility next to the new fire hall in Lund.
The facility includes steel containers with interiors built to replicate the inside of a residence to practice rescue scenarios.
Local firefighters previously needed to travel to Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland for live-fire training.
“This live-fire training facility will help train our first responders how to keep their community safe and continue to provide life-saving volunteer service to the community,” said Northside Volunteer Fire Department Fire Chief Jim Brown.
