Chris Davis, Pincher Creek Voice

On Saturday night, November 26, Pincher Creek EMS responded to a vehicle fire located in an alley behind Florence Street on the south hill of Pincher Creek. The vehicle was a total loss, but there were no injuries and no other damages. The cause was undetermined.

On early Monday morning, November 27, five local EMS personnel led by Director of Pincher Creek's Community Emergency Management Agency (PCCEMA) assisted at Lethbridge's Emergency Operations drop-in Centre, providing relief for fatigued EMS in that city from 2 am to 9 am. Among other duties, they helped with displaced citizens and provided advice to County Councillors.

"We went in to give those guys a break so they could take a rest," said Pincher Creek Fire Chief Dave Cox, who was one of those assisting.
