Some municipalities in the Peace are getting money from the province to help train firefighters.

The four grants under the Fire Services Training Program include $12,300 for Birch Hills County, $12,859 for Big Lakes County, $14,520 for Northern Sunrise County and $8,650 for the Town of High Prairie.

The province says that a combined total of over $1 million was being given to 65 Metis Settlements, First Nations and municipalities across Alberta.

The government also says this money can be used to pay for training in areas like toxic materials and ice water rescues, among other things.
