Sakinaw Lake fire pump stations

With the large house fire experienced at Ruby lake Last August, the Sakinaw Lake Community Association thought there should be a complete inventory and operation audit done on all of the fire stations around Sakinaw. As of July 2009 all 11 of the Sakinaw fire pump stations have been completely checked out and are fully operational.

All Sakinaw fire stations received the following:
• A complete equipment inventory and safety check with all defective equipment replaced.
• A complete fire pump inspection and operations check with all pumps tested and any repairs needed were done.

The E.V.F.D. can only respond to a very small section of Sakinaw Lake (the very tip of the north end of the lake) but everyone is welcome to check out their new fire hall. Visit the hall at 5992 Egmont Road for either of two upcoming events:

Find out more about the department at its 2009 AGM at the fire-hall, 5992 Egmont Rd., April 27 at 7:30 pm.
