Jesse Desjarlais had worked at the Town of Kindersley recreation department as a labourer since September 2013, when on April 1, 2016, he and two colleagues, Victor Constantino and Jer- son Pacis, signed out a town SUV and headed out to Humboldt for a week of training courses.

Constantino testified he heard the vaping ma- chine's distinctive beeping sound.
