Why is it called Firebag?
Firebag is on indigeonous land and the name reflects the indigeonous and the area.
From translation, Firebag (Fire-Bag) takes its name from the leather bag that was used by Indigenous peoples in this cold climate, to carry hot coals upon their travels for fire-starting.
They would carry the leather bag filled with hot coal to their next location to stay warm and have the ability to start a fire again.
