The Prince Rupert Port Authority recently was able to give a gift to the District of Port Edward that should help them keep their community a bit safer.
The Port Authority gave the District’s Volunteer Fire Department a brand new fire truck that is now in service to help their local community as well as it’s surrounding area.
The District partnered up with the PRPA’s Community Investment Fund to get this truck bought, with the fund providing about $155,000 to cover part of the truck’s $500,000 total cost.
The previous truck that was used by the Volunteer Fire Department had been in service for about 3 decades as it was getting to the end of it’s proverbial rope.
Now with the new truck, the local firefighters will be able to respond to fires better now.
