The Granum Fire Department was kept very busy in 2009, responding to a record number of calls, 50 in total, ranging from MVCs, structure fires, grass fires, medical calls and false alarms.

The G.F.D. hosted their annual dinner in February, the ball tournament in June, and provided safety services during the fire works on Canada Day and at the Gospel Jamboree in July.

Also in 2009, Fire Chief Travis Coleman finished his 1001 courses and obtained his instructors certificates. He taught three 1001 courses over the year and has really enjoyed his role of instructing fire fighters and helping them to become certified.
