What does Snow Golf look like? No golf balls are used, only slightly larger, squishy, colored balls are used. No golfclubs are used, that would be too easy, instead bring a club. Some suggestions are a hockey stick, a broom, or build a stick. The holes are not as far apart as a normal golf course so the children can enjoy as well. So get creative, make and don a costume and lets play! FORE!

How perfect is this? It's snowing!! Snowing for Snow Golf!

Ready for some FGFD stats? Your community volunteers were even busier in 2025. Calls range from structure fires, wildfires, hydro lines, MVI's to medical calls.

Total Incident calls for 2025 = 110

77 of the 110 (or 65.3%) were "medical" calls

Thank you to all of our FGFD members who train hard to help their community.

T’was the night before Christmas
and all through the town
The fire siren echoed
blaring its sound

The firefighters came running
from far and from near
And raced to the trucks
quickly donning their gear

And I in my bunker
my boots and my hat
Jumped to the engine
to see where the fire’s at

Down at the corner
of Fifth and of Oak
The dispatcher informed us
of a house filled with smoke

Smoke poured form the sides
from up and from down
Yet up on the roof
there was none to be found

So up to the rooftop
we raised up a ladder
And climbed to the top
to see what was the matter

I came to the chimney
and what did I see
But a fellow in red
stuck past his knees

Well we tugged and we pulled
until he came out
Then he winked with his eye
and said with a shout

“These darn newfangled chimneys
they make them too small
For a fellow as I
not skinny at all.”

With a twitch of his nose
he dashed to his sleigh
And called to his reindeer
“AWAY now, AWAY.”

As we rolled up our hoses
he flew out of sight
Saying “God bless our firefighters
and to all a good night.”

Merry Christmas everyone
have a good night!

Fire Prevention practices and early notification by smoke alarms could be a life saver.

40 years ago, you had 17 minutes to escape a fire.
Today, it’s just 3.

The reason?

Modern homes are filled with synthetic materials—furniture, fabrics, and even construction elements made from petroleum-based compounds that ignite more quickly, burn hotter, and release far more toxic smoke. In controlled tests, a vintage 1970s-style room with natural materials took over 30 minutes to fully burn. A comparable modern room? Just three minutes. That drastic difference is the deadly reality of modern fire behavior.

But the danger isn’t just the speed—it's also the smoke.

This video helps explain why:

Today’s fires produce toxic gases like carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide, making smoke inhalation the leading cause of death in house fires. With less time to react and deadlier conditions, fire experts stress the need for working smoke alarms and a well-practiced escape plan. It’s not the materials in your home that will save you—it’s your preparation. In a world where three minutes can mean life or death, being ready is everything.

How many smoke alarms are in your home?
Do you have a fire extinguisher? If yes, what type?
Do you practice a fire escape plan in your home?
Do you implement FireSmart practices around your home?
