Recognizing severe weather will be the focus of a presentation in Melfort.

The City of Melfort, the Melfort Fire Department, and Environment Canada are bringing the unique opportunity to the community to learn how certain weather might impact them and how to respond to it.

Fire Chief Jason Everitt said severe weather has safety impacts for everyone.

“Just understanding and being able to pick up the queues of what’s happening and looking at development around and being able to determine if it’s something to worry about or not,” Everitt said. “This seminar really gives a lot of those answers.”
