South Frontenac Firefighters
2009 calendar now available
By Julie Druker
Rick
Chesebrough, Fire Chief of South Frontenac Fire and Rescue, in
conjuction with Kingston Fire decided it was high time to jump on
board with the Alberta-based company “The Fire Within” and put
out a South Frontenac version of a volunteer fire fighters’
calendar for the upcoming year.
Chesebrough
was contacted by Chad Saritison, chair of the “The Fire Within”,
and the two made all of the necessary arrangements to complete the
project.
Funds
generated from sales of the calendar will help fund all volunteer
fire fighter departments across the country and a portion of the
sales will also go directly to the South Frontenac Fire Departments.
The
calendar was a joint venture between Kingston and South Frontenac
Departments and both area stations are included in the calendar.
Six of
the twelve calendar months show SF volunteer firefighters donning
their protective gear in a variety of settings in the districts of
South Frontenac.
South
Frontenac volunteer fire fighters who wished to be included in the
calendar put their names in a hat and names were drawn at each
station.
The
calendars cost $20 and can be purchased at any of the South Frontenac
Fire Departments in time for Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 5 – 12,
when many of the stations will be open to the public.
The
calendars can also be purchased at various Sydenham businesses
including the Sydenham Post Office, Trousdale’s Home Hardware,
Sydenham One Stop, The Royal Bank (Sydenham branch), Eclipse Hair
Salon, Trousdale’s General Store and Foodland, The Hillside Café
and Memory Lane Flowers
It’s a
great chance to purchase a 2009 calendar for your home or as a gift
for someone else and to support our local fire fighters and all
volunteer fire fighters across the country.
