Another animal rescue in Dieppe

Shediac volunteer fire fighters were busy again this weekend rescuing another animal from an icy river.

The previous weekend they rescued a moose that went through the ice on the Shediac River and are being recognized by PETA for their efforts.

This past weekend, they headed out to rescue a big male golden retriever that went through the ice on the Scoudouc River along with a smaller female dog. She managed to get out of the water and rush to RCMP on shore. Then the fire fighters arrived and got out to the floundering dog and got him safely to shore. Two of the volunteer fire fighters in this one were also involved in the moose rescue.

No one hurt in Dieppe fire

A fire Friday evening in Dieppe is providing some teaching lessons.

Deputy Fire Chief Conrad Landry told the Times and Transcript it turned out to be an electrical fire in a wire they traced to the attic of the house on Gauvin Road. He says the homeowner sensed some kind of problem earlier in the day…could smell light smoke…but didn’t call until later.

Landry says it’s an important lesson…if a fuse or a breaker pops and you smell smoke and you’re not sure why…call the fire department right away, don’t wait.  They have sensors which can detect a fire hidden in the walls.
