Barbecue planned for volunteers who helped in Rapid View area wildfires
There was a huge show of support to help tame the wildfires that spread quickly west of Rapid View, northwest of Meadow Lake recently.
Homeowner Ashley Croteau estimated over 200 people volunteered as well as firefighters to stop the blaze from moving into the residential area on May 1.
As a thank you to the firefighters and the many volunteers who helped put out the fire, the Croteau family, as well as neighbour Stacey Nolin’s family, are holding a community barbecue at the Croteau ranch at 6 p.m. Thursday.
Croteau said it was “remarkable how many people came out to lend a hand.”
