First Responders Open House

Residents are invited to an open house, taking place Monday, May 1 to recognize First Responders Day.

This year on First Responders Day, members of Haliburton County paramedic services, municipal fire departments and the Haliburton Highlands OPP have collectively come together to invite the public to a Haliburton County Community Open House to learn more about the critical role both professional and volunteer emergency responders have in keeping our communities safe. Residents of all ages are invited to visit bases, halls and stations throughout Haliburton County on May 1 from 4 – 6 p.m. for a variety of activities. Members of the public will be able to meet emergency personnel, learn more about programs and services offered, hear about volunteer and career opportunities, understand how to prepare for emergencies, and get an up-close look at emergency equipment and vehicles.

In Algonquin Highlands, AHFS Station 80 on North Shore Road will open its doors to visitors. Come out and see the equipment, meet firefighters, and find out what it’s like to be part of a volunteer department.
