The G.F.D. is a group of men and women who volunteer to protect lives and property from fire. They are at the community's service 24 hours a day, every day of the year. They protect people, homes, schools and businesses, and they improve the quality of life in the community by making it a safer place in which to live.

The purpose of this web site is to introduce you to the services the G.F.D. members provide, and to educate you on fire safety. An interesting history of the department is also available.

News & Updates

The S-300 held in January went very well and Fire Chief Travis Coleman instructed 15 students from the MD of Willow Creek. All of the students did very well, and the course was a huge success.

This MVC happend on a Sunday morning in early January when the roads were terrible. The injuries were not life threatening. G.F.D. had 3 MVCs that weekend giving them a busy start to 2010.

The G.F.D. is very excited to have their new rescue in service now.

The fund-raising dinner in February was also a huge success with the G.F.D. raising approximately $4,000; an impressive amount for one day worth of work. Thank you to everyone that helped out, and for the support from the community. The fund-raising helped the Department to purchase their new rescue unit.

The new rescue unit went into service on March 20, 2010 and everything is running perfectly. The rescue is a huge step-up from the old unit. It is on a 2009 GMC 550 diesel chassis, with 16 foot walk-in cab built from Fort Garry Fire Trucks out of Winnipeg.
