Harrison's own country artist Todd Richard was recently named an honourary firefighter for the Harrison Hot Springs Fire Department.
The HHSFD said Richard has "always been a strong advocate for us as first responders." After he sang "O Canada" at the fire department's annual Canada Day pancake breakfast, Fire Chief Curtis Genest surprised Richard with a helmet and crest.
"Thank you Todd, for your dedication to our community and for always standing by us," The HHSFD said in a recent social media post "We are grateful for your advocacy."
Richard said the honour "made for a very special Canada Day."
