Fire Practice MVC Stabilization
Our team worked on MVC stabilizations. We never want to have a situation where we need to use these skills but if it happens, our team will be ready.
Great event keep up the awesome work everyone. Wicked video
Some of our team and team members from Big Lakes County attended the 25th annual Northern HEAT Fire Training Conference hosted at the Peace River Fire Department training site.
Nothing is left to chance. Every scenario and skill is practiced to ensure our crew is ready for anything. This week was Window Bailouts.
Sadly, despite the incredible generosity and support we receive from businesses in and around High Prairie, theft still happens, regardless of the organization or cause.
This past week, our High Prairie Fire Department training facility was broken into. The locks were cut, and a whole lift of OSB, along with lumber, was stolen.
We want to make it clear that the OSB that was taken was rejected material and did not meet the required standards for structural or building purposes. It was donated specifically for use at our training facility, where it can be used safely for training props and exercises. It should not be used for construction, structural applications, or building purposes.
These materials were generously donated by local businesses to help us improve our training facility and provide better training for our firefighters. It is extremely disappointing to see donations intended to benefit our department and our community taken in this way.
If anyone has any information regarding this theft, saw anything suspicious around the training facility, or knows where these materials may have gone, we would greatly appreciate you reaching out.
Please share this post and help us get the word out. Any information, no matter how small, could help.
Thank you to the businesses and community members who continue to support the High Prairie Fire Department. Your generosity does not go unnoticed.

We had a surprise visit from Dottie and her buddy at last night’s practice!
The firefighters were just as excited to see her as she was to see us. It was great to see Dottie back to her usual self and of course, causing a little mischief for her owner!
We’re pretty sure she remembers the crew that helped get her out of that well!
And a big thank you for the cupcakes! They were awesome and definitely didn’t last long!
Great to see you, Dottie! Stay out of trouble… or at least try!
Thank You, High Prairie & Area Residents!
A huge thank you to all the Town and County residents who were willing to lend their properties to the High Prairie Fire Department for our training exercises.
Although we were unable to use all of the properties that were offered, we are truly grateful to everyone who took the time to reach out and offer their property. Your willingness to support our training is greatly appreciated and does not go unnoticed.
Your support allows our members to train, improve their skills, and be better prepared to respond when our community needs us most.
And now for the important part… the winner of the Fire Department swag is Stacy!
Congratulations, Stacy! We will be contacting you shortly to arrange getting your prize to you.
Thank you again to everyone who offered their property and supported the High Prairie Fire Department! Your continued support means a lot to our members and our community.
Approved by the Dog Owner:
On August 8, the High Prairie Fire Department, along with Big Lakes County Fire, responded to a call that was definitely going to the dogs!
This time, it wasn’t Timmy in the well, and Lassie wasn’t around to save the day. It was Dottie the dog who found herself in a bit of a deep situation.
Thankfully, all that rope rescue training from June wasn’t just an excuse to play with ropes! Our members put their training to work and successfully retrieved Dottie from the well.
Dottie is now safely back in her owner’s arms and, thankfully, is doing well, no pun intended!
A big thank you to the members of the High Prairie Fire Department and Big Lakes County Fire who assisted with the rescue. Your training, teamwork and willingness to respond when needed makes a difference, whether the emergency has two legs, four legs, or occasionally gets itself stuck somewhere it really shouldn’t be!
Another successful rescue, another happy ending, and one very relieved dog and dog owner.
And yes… Dottie approved this post!
Thank you to everyone who reached out and offered your properties for our live fire training on Monday! Joking about the live fire.
The response from our community was incredible, and we truly appreciate everyone who was willing to help. Unfortunately, we won't be able to use every property, as some are located too far from town for this training exercise. Please know that every offer was appreciated and does not go unnoticed.
If you're out and about Monday evening, keep an eye out for your local firefighters doing what they love, firefighter stuff!
Training like this is invaluable. It gives our members the opportunity to build and sharpen the skills that help keep our community safe when real emergencies happen.
As a small token of our appreciation, everyone who reached out and offered their property will be entered into a draw for some High Prairie Fire Department swag. The winner will be announced on our social media page, if they choose to have their name shared. Once again, thank you for your continued support of the High Prairie Fire Department. We couldn't do it without a community like ours!
