2011-05-04 Vancouver opens new Urban Search and Rescue Centre

After the earthquake in Haiti, Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services and the City of Vancouver got together and planned a new training centre for Urban Search and Rescue teams as part of their Emergency Preparedness Program. On May 4, 2011, the new centre was officially opened!

Here is the story of the event, as told from the perspective of the Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services band.

(Note: We don't really have any good recordings of ourselves playing yet, so we used some great (licensed) music instead. Hope you like it.)

Thanks for the nice comment, limogerry. Maybe we'll see you out at one of our events sometime!

Very nice. Ironically this event was two days after the fire at 1460 Bute which I filmed, in fact global TV used my footage on their news broadcast that day.
