I would like to thank everyone that attended the motorhome fire on the #3 on Sept 3. Myself and family did get out with out any injuries, but under the circumstances it was a very scary ordeal for all of us. Everyone that attended made us feel not so lost and displaced in the situation. We are very grateful for this. My young daughter has a new respect for the job that Police, Firefighters, Medical and all that arrived, and to be honest so do I. Also a big thank you to the Super 8 in Pincher Creek for letting my family use a room for a few hours for no charge to shower and find a ride.
