The Dauphin Fire Department, along with the ten other departments that make up the Riding Mountain Mutual Aid District, is hosting the Manitoba Association of Fire Chiefs Conference this weekend. Chief Cam Abrey says they kicked off the conference yesterday morning, and have events running all day today and tomorrow.
Hosting it here in Dauphin gives us an opportunity, not only to showcase our community and bring some outside revenue into the area because we're hosting 200 to 250 people in our community but also for everyone to get together because this is the first time since 2019 that we've been able to host a conference in the province.
He said the learning and networking opportunity from the conference is great, and it's an opportunity for all the departments to see the latest technology that's available for emergency services.
