At their meeting Tuesday night Flin Flon City Council received the Fire Chiefs report for October indicating seven alarms during the month.  They were called to a home on Centre Street on the 7^th where expired batteries set off the smoke detectors.  On the 13^th they were called to the Hudbay mine site where a rumble and smoke were noticed but it was a scheduled blast that went off successfully.

On the 3^rd they were called to a vehicle in the ditch on south highway ten where they assisted the ambulance with patients, on the 20^th they were called to Timber Lane where a patient had slipped with his motorcycle and was stabilized until EMS arrived and on the 25th on highway ten south they were called to a rolled vehicle near the airport where they assisted EMS and set up traffic control.

There were two home fires with heat and smoke from a stove on Hillcrest causing an alarm on the 2nd and on the 30^th a small fire in a basement on Second Avenue was quickly extinguished.

During the month fire crews trained on vehicle extraction in cold weather and off road winter rescue operations.
