The Town recently received a donation of a Wildfire Suppression Skid Unit! The new Fire Skid was generously donated by GlobalMedic as part of their Canadian Fire Fighting Skid Donation Program. The firefighting skid includes a 1,000L tank, pumps and hoses and will be placed in the back of a current pickup truck. The unit will be mounted in Rescue 57 (pictured here) in the summer months to support wildfire suppression efforts in places conventional fire apparatus can’t access.

GlobalMedic, is a Toronto-based Canadian charity that runs capacity-building programs and provides disaster relief services to large-scale catastrophes around the world and in Canada.
