Ross said the new water system provided lots of water and the new pumper was a real asset in controlling and extinguishing the fire.

Some water did get in the basements of the Anglican Church and other nearby buildings. Once this problem was recognized dikes were built to restrict the flow of water. Firefighters also responded to two other calls last week. On Sunday, April 7, problems with a woodstove at 127 Sunset Drive filled the house with smoke causing smoke damage.On Monday morning, April 8, firefighters put out a fire in an overheated van, five kilometers west of Schreiber on Hwy 17.
