We’re thankful for the incredible support from the @City_of_Airdrie and all of our employers across the province who support their employees being part of the team which makes these deployments possible.
Residents are returning to their homes - something Chief Pirie said is another rewarding part of the work he and his team were tasked to do. #localnews #wildfires #airdrie
