At their meeting Tuesday night Flin Flon City Council received the Fire Chief’s report for June. The department received and put into service their new rescue Boggin or Snowbulance which will allow them to perform rescue operations in summer and winter on trails and remote areas. Training was held on switching between skis and wheels for different terrain and seasons.
There were six calls to the department in June three of which were to assist EMS on calls. There was an alarm on Waldron on the 19th that proved to be burnt cooking that set off alarms. There were two calls to motor vehicle accidents. The first was on Church Street on the 15th where a vehicle had struck the side of a building. They assisted the passengers out of the vehicle into the ambulance and moved the vehicle. And on the 26th at the Big Island turn off a person on a bike was struck by a vehicle. They established traffic control and assisted the patient to the ambulance.
