Also added to the apparatus floor was 2 member washrooms with showers for cleanup, post calls.Our first ever 50/50 Cash Raffle has ended and the draw took place this afternoon. It also saw three new bays added that would allow for larger fire trucks. The renovations included a new office, radio room, new public washrooms in the center of the old recreation hall. In 2017 the membership realized the need to renovate the hall to allow for newer apparatus. We saw our call volume increase to about 85 medical calls for the year. In 2017 we upgraded our response status to include 95 percent of all emergency medical calls in our district. The brigade responded to 35 medical related calls that year. We trained 21 members as advanced medical first responders. In 2014 the fire brigade took on a new role in the community as medical first responders. In 1990 another addition to the rec hall was added which included a stage, a new kitchen and a basement recreation room for the members. In 1979 the two halls were joined together, with the building of a third truck bay and an upstairs meeting room. The ladies auxiliary every year would make a donation to the brigade to assist in the purchasing of specialized equipment. They were always busy catering banquets and wedding receptions. In 1977 the North River Fire Brigade ladies auxiliary was formed to support the brigade. In 1975 with the assistance of a grant, the fire brigades recreation hall was completed. In order for the brigade to raise funds, dances were held at the North River Elementary school as this was the only available public hall. This was stored on a half ton truck that was donated by Donald Roode. The only fire equipment the brigade had at this time was on loan from the Department of Lands and Forest and consisted of 500 feet of 1 ½ line and a wajax pump. The first meeting was held in the new hall on Nov 29 1972. In May a series of Logging bees were held on the land of Ronnie Horne, and was transported to Bill Gorman's mill, where the lumber was used to construct the new Fire hall. Also in April of 1972 a piece of land was donated to the brigade by Foster MacKenzie, where our current fire hall currently sits.
