Sucker Creek First Nation Volunteer Fire Department has had a busy year with medical assists but few fires.
“We’ve had a quiet year for fires,” fire chief Allan Koski says.
Firefighters have responded to one house fire and two other structure fires and a few grass fires.
“We have been doing a lot of medical assists for Alberta Health Services,” Koski says.
