Junior Prince Albert firefighter reflects on wildfire experience
While some of his friends were worried about their next homework assignment or how they be spending their Saturday Night, Prince Albert’s Jace Dorward was up north ensuring fires did not spread to precious structures.
The 16-year-old is a junior firefighter with the Buckland Volunteer Fire Department, and as part of the three days he spent in La Ronge and Weyakwin, he was tasked with patrolling hot spots as well as taking action on new fires.
“It was definitely a good experience and I got some new knowledge up there,” he said, adding that his training prepared him well.
