It was a busy evening for WFD. At approximately 4:30 p.m. on Dec 26, members were dispatched for an EMS assist in town. Four members responded to help paramedics. They were clear of the scene by 4:55 p.m. Then during the middle of the night, on Dec. 27 at 12:50 a.m, WFD was dispatched to a residence in the RM of Silverwood for a carbon monoxide alarm. Firefighters responded and inspected the residence, along with SaskEnergy, and no leak was detected. All units were back in service at 2:10 a.m.

The Whitewood Fire Department is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of a 12-year-old child on the Ochapowace First Nation. Our hearts are with the family, friends, and community who are grieving an unimaginable loss.

Events like this leave a lasting impact far beyond the immediate scene, touching first responders, neighbours, and communities throughout the region. We recognize the pain being carried by so many and the long road that lies ahead for those most affected.

We offer our sincere support to the Ochapowace First Nation and express our respect for the strength and unity being shown in the face of this tragedy. We also acknowledge the dedication of all emergency and crisis-support personnel involved.

During this difficult time, we encourage everyone to look after one another, reach out for support when needed, and hold close those who are hurting. The Whitewood Fire Department’s thoughts are with the family and the entire community as they grieve and begin to heal together.

Once again travel is not being recommended on many highways throughout southeast Saskatchewan. School buses are also cancelled in many divisions. Stay off the roads and stay safe if possible. Remember, in conditions like these, should something happen, response times of emergency personnel will be much slower.

Every second matters when a house is on fire. Help out if you are able to by keeping hydrants clear of snow.
