New Burn Houses Page

Recently the Quadra Island Fire Department was lucky enough to run a live fire burn house practice on Feb 3rd 2018. It was a great and busy day for all those who took part and we got some very valuable experience out of it. One thing that made this burn house stand out from others we did in the past though is we were able to get some aerial drone footage of the event. So we thought it would be great to share the video with all of you. Please go to our website and check out https://www.quadrafire.org/burn-houses.php where you can watch the footage of our latest burn house. There is also a time lapse video of the burn house we did before that a few years back. In the future, if we ever get more burn houses to work with, you could expect more videos to come.

Enjoy!

We had another successful (if a bit smaller) Lighted Truck Parade this year!! Thank you to all those who entered a vehicle in the parade to help spread some Christmas cheer in our community! Another big thank you to all of our members who came out to help with the many things that are necessary to put on an event like this one! And finally thank you to all those who came out tonight to watch the parade, we hope you enjoyed it!! And we hope that some of you have been inspired to put a vehicle of your own in next year's parade!

These are just a few of the delicious treats that will be at the No. 1 Fire Hall after the parade on Friday! We will also be making fresh donuts throughout the evening!

A reminder that the parade will be departing the No. 1 Fire Hall at 6:30 pm and will head south on Cape Mudge Rd, turn right onto Noble Rd and then travel down to Cape Mudge Village. The parade will then come back up Green Rd to pass by the Cove Plaza and Quadra Elementary at which point it will turn left onto West Rd and will travel through Heriot Bay and return to the No. 1 Fire Hall via Heriot Bay Rd.
Donations to the food bank can be brought to the Fire Hall or there will be a truck at the end of the parade collecting donations along the parade route. We will see you all on Friday!

Wow only two weeks until the big night! The Lighted Truck Parade that is!! We are still looking for vehicles to enter the parade this year so if you are interested please let us know!
We will have all kinds of goodies at the No. 1 Fire Hall so come on by after the parade and enjoy! And don't forget to bring a donation for the food bank!

The lighted truck parade is less than three weeks away now! We want this parade to be the biggest one yet so we are encouraging anyone who is thinking about entering a vehicle to come on out and join the parade! You don't have to be a big truck, any and all vehicle types are welcome. And it's an excellent opportunity for some free advertising! We hope to keep this event growing every year so enter a vehicle and help spread some Christmas cheer!

To get your creative juices flowing here are some pictures of Engine 11 getting all decked out for last year's parade!

Quadra's Lighted Truck Parade!!

Halloween was a smash hit and now we are preparing for our next big event...The Lighted Truck Parade! This year the parade will take place on Friday, December 4th which means if you want to put a vehicle in the parade you have just under a month to get it decked out with twinkly lights! Details about the start time and route will follow soon!

Annual Summer BBQ

This year's golf tournament had a bit of a wet theme to it, although we were all looking forward to nice sunny weather while hitting the golf greens. Instead we were treated to rain, rain, and more rain. However, the undesirable weather wasn't going to keep us away from our tee time! Some of us even came a lot more prepared than others; right Mike? Here are a few winners to announce for the golf tournament.

• Team Best Score: Lynn, Ken, and Dave
• Men's Longest Drive: Richard
• Women's Longest Drive: Sharon
• Men's Closest to Snag: Luke
• Women's Closest to Snag: Julie
• Men's Closest to Pin: Richard
• Women's Closest to Pin: Lynn
• Best Dressed: Mike
• Team Worst Score: Sharon, Julie, and Coleen (sorry guys but someone has to claim this title)

I hope everyone enjoyed themselves and had a great game!

Finally, thanks to everyone who helped out with the BBQ this year. From setting up tables/chairs to cooking. Any small or big part you played made the BBQ a success. An especially big thanks to Jamie and Julie for all the prep and organization. A big shoutout to Brian for picking up and dropping off the big BBQ. We hope everyone enjoyed the food, the prizes, the people, and in the end just had a good time all around. Can't wait for next year!

P.S. Apologies for the lack of photos for this event. The rain didn't quite allow me to have it out all day snapping photos.

Practice at the driving range

The perks of being with the QIFD. Impromptu Tuesday night practice at the golf course!
