Killam Fire Department holds annual recognition
Just over a week since the Killam Fire Department assisted with the hotel fire in Daysland, they sat down to enjoy their annual Fire Department Social at the Killam Legion, on Friday, Jan. 11.
During a short presentation, Killam Mayor Ben Kellert addressed Killam’s volunteer fire department members.
“Thank you to each and every one of you for your ongoing commitment to your community. Your generosity and selflessness is appreciated by every one. You have sought to make a difference, without financial gain, but for the love and care of your fellow citizens.
Killam Fire Chief Joe Knievel spoke next, starting with, “Thanks each of you for your diligence and commitment, for attending training sessions and many calls.”
Knievel talked about the types of calls the department has answered this year, and said to the firefighters, “I especially note the challenge with false monitored alarms. These are a nuisance, but we all need to be ready to respond to these calls.”
Knievel went on to say, “Thank you to partners and spouses. When firefighters are called to respond, especially during meals and family events, our parts are left to you, and we recognize the important role you play, and want to acknowledge you.”
Knievel then read aloud from a letter received from the Town of Daysland, addressed to the Killam Fire Department.
