Recently, Calgary Fire Department’s (CFD) Engine 23 crew (from the Southview fire station) responded to an address in southeast Calgary due to reports of a school bus fire. When fire crews arrived, the bus was fully engulfed with flames that were threatening the church located next door. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire, preventing its spread to the church. Once the fire was declared under control, a thorough search of the bus confirmed that no one had been trapped inside.

Happy New Year! I hope you and your family have enjoyed a restful holiday season. As we find ourselves getting back into our regular routines, it’s also an opportunity to create some new habits as a family. Establishing a home security routine, whether you’re at home or travelling, is a substantial deterrent for thieves and an effective way to ensure your home and belongings are secure.
With more consumers turning to the convenience of online shopping, it’s important to understand the potential for online scams, fraud, and theft. With Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Boxing Day sales coming up, there are great deals to be had. However, while official retailer shopping websites are safe and secure, it’s important to know how to recognize an online scam or fraudulent website, and how to keep your personal information secure so you don’t become a victim of
a cybercrime.
