It is with great excitement that BFES in partnership with our IT department launched our new website:<br />
www.brandonfire.ca. The new site coordinates with our department logo and gives us the opportunity to<br />
showcase the services we <strong>of</strong>fer with updated photo galleries. It will also provide links to our community<br />
partners for programs such as Lock Boxes as well as connecting our students to Sparky’s website. Added<br />
functionality and security means that our clients can obtain vital fire safety information in languages<br />
other than English and respond to our ambulance patient survey online.<br />
