Members of the Assiniboia Volunteer Fire Department work on a "practice burn" last summer

If there's a fire in the "south country", chances are it's members of the Assiniboia Volunteer Fire Department that will respond.  And when they do, they would like to have the most up-to-date equipment to help put out the blaze.  The Assiniboia Volunteer Fire Department is hostinga fundraiser Saturday, February 15.  It's a supper, silent auction and dance.  Tickets are $60.00 per person and are available from Conexus Credit Union, Nelson Motors, Chuck's Collison, Town of Assiniboia or any fire department member.  Proceeds of the event will be put towards the cost of a new Rescue Unit. CHAB's Craig Hemingway spoke with Johanne Rust, whose husband (Chuck) and son (Nathan) are members of the fire department.
