The James Rudd Memorial Fire Hall was officially opened on Saturday,
June 14, 2014 by his widow Erla Rudd and their children Earl and Roberta.
The hall was built as a replacement for the original Kamsack Fire Hall that
was located next to the Town Office, which was built in 1947 and was
incapable of housing the fire and rescue vehicles owned by the Fire
Department. The new fire hall is home to state of the art facilities and has
room to house a fire school for future firefighters. The fire department
covers emergencies within the Town of Kamsack, Veregin, Madge Lake,
the RM of Cote, Cote First Nations and the Village of Togo.

If you are new to the Town of Kamsack or a long-time resident, sure enough, you have heard a siren sounding every Wednesday at 12pm for 30 seconds. This siren is a warning system the Town of Kamsack has in place to keep the residents of Kamsack safe during an emergency. This siren is TESTED every week to ensure it is in top working order, if you hear this siren throughout the town other than on the test date for the specific length of time, this means there is danger and a possible emergency. You MUST take shelter immediately and await further instructions from Town officials.
