Our hearts go out to the firefighters and law enforcement officers who were shot as they worked to contain the flames of an intentionally set grass fire in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho earlier this afternoon.

Every morning members of our emergency services agencies put on their uniforms with the intent of making it home safe at the end of their shift. Each first responder understands the inherent risks involved with their jobs, but none of us expect to be targeted for serving our communities.

Our entire team would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude, best wishes, and full support to each of the brave individuals who have been injured during this unacceptable and devastating act of unprovoked violence. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the loved ones, colleagues and friends of these injured heroes as well!

Please be aware of an active police incident currently taking place in the area of Elk Island National Park.

Traffic may be stopped and detours may be put in place as the situation evolves, so please follow instructions from RCMP and local emergency officials.

We are hoping that this situation is resolved in a timely matter with no injuries.

Thank you to all of our fellow first responders and RCMP! Stay safe everyone!
