Fire extinguisher demo boosts confidence

Volunteer firefighter Kristen Haven shows how to use a fire extinguisher in October in front of Abe Okpik Hall in Apex. It was the last of five demonstrations the Iqaluit fire department organized for fire prevention week, which ran from Oct. 5 to 11. The goal is to make people more “confident,” when using fire extinguishers, said deputy fire Chief Alex Storring. (Photo by Arty Sarkisian)
