Firefighters answer the call on windy Friday

Thursday, October 17, was a crazy one for Osmond firefighters who answered not one, not two, but three fire calls. The high winds and dry conditions brought a Red Flag Warning for the area, which meant that warm temperatures, very low humidity and strong winds could produce an increased risk of fire danger. And unfortunately, that’s what happened.
