Exxplore 2023
May 13, 2023, was a day to Exxplore the Fire Department and Police Service within Saskatoon. There were 110 people registered for the event from our community wanting to experience highlights of our front line services. The Saskatoon Fire Department (SFD) and the Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) worked collaboratively to display skills, expertise and share experiences highlighting careers in our emergency services.
Today showcased:
SFD's ladder truck and its capabilities, a fire engine actively pumping water with hose lines, paramedic skills being demonstrated, and a relay that highlighted the physical demands of a firefighter. All registrants were active participants.
SPS's K-9 unit with "Diesel" showcasing his abilities, the Bear Cat unit being toured, and highlights from weapons used to gain compliance. Registrants got first hand demonstrations.
Outstanding day of fun and engagement where a panel of speakers from both departments talked about their work and the benefit of diversity and inclusion to our services. Registrants were allowed to ask questions, be a part of the team and have one on one conversations with all personnel on site.
Thank you to the team work of Saskatoon Police and Saskatoon Fire personnel who made this day a great experience for those who attended and "Exxplored" our services.
Huge shout out to the Police Service for hosting the event at their station.
From Saskatoon Fire - we hope you considering exploring us in the future.
