Red Deer County Protective Services recognized for help with Waterton wildfires
Red Deer County’s Protective Services unit has been recognized for its help with the Waterton National Park wildfires this summer.
The recognition came from Tony Hamori, District Commander Southern Alberta RCMP, who presented Red Deer County’s Protective Services staff and volunteers with a District Commander’s ‘Certificate of Appreciation’ at Red Deer county council chambers Monday morning.
Assistant County Manager and Director of Red Deer County Protective Services, Ric Henderson, said six of them went down during the September fires, three people on the day shift, three on the night shift.
“It’s good to see the appreciation when you go out and help some other agencies, especially for our volunteers, cause they are true volunteers that go out and want to help people,” said Henderson.
