Waldheim Fire & Rescue was dispatched to a house fire in Waldheim at 04:56 this morning. We responded with 2 trucks and 10 firefighters. The fire was out and we headed back to the fire hall at 10:15. Thankfully, the homeowners got out of the house safely and no one was injured. Thank you to our dedicated group of volunteers.

Do you have a house number on your home? Is it clearly visible from the street? Having a clearly visible house number from the street will save emergency services valuable time in locating you in an emergency situation. We can't help you if we can't find you! If you live in the RM always make sure you know your land location and post it by a landline phone if you have one in your home!
Waldheim Fire & Rescue had an eventful evening tonight. There are unconfirmed reports that we were hit by a tornado this evening which caused many trees to fall onto power lines. We were called to 4 different locations for downed power lines due to trees, 2 of these calls involved trees that were on fire. We are grateful that property damage seems to be minimal and most importantly, no one was hurt.
