The Peace River Fire Department will be undertaking a Training Evacuation Exercise the evening of Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
➡️ THIS IS ALL PRACTICE AND TRAINING. THERE IS NO EMERGENCY. ⬅️
Each year, the department reviews the Town's Municipal Emergency Plan, including the department's role in potential evacuations. As part of this, the PRFD will be carrying out a practice evacuation notice to residents in the north end.
Crews will be going door-to-door and interacting with residents as if it were a real emergency evacuation (it's not). The fire department will then review how the exercise went and make any adjustments needed in preparation for a real evacuation event.
This year, the training will be taking place in the north end of town from about 7pm to 8:30pm.
Again, there is NO EMERGENCY. This is all for training and practice.
