Bob and Roger showing off our latest acquisition!More than a dozen rural fire departments in the TNRD are better equipped to respond to wildfires, thanks to a generous donation of firefighting skid units by GlobalMedic.Each fire skid contains a 1,000-litre holding tank, a pressurized pump, and a forestry fire hose. These fire skids are able to be mounted onto pickup trucks, allowing firefighters to access areas that may be inaccessible for larger firetrucks. These fire skids have been donated to all TNRD operated fire departments and other rural fire departments and fire brigades within the Thompson-Nicola region.The TNRD has facilitated the delivery of these fire skids, and we are grateful to GlobalMedic for supplying these fire skids to help protect our communities.Read more in today’s News Release: www.tnrd.ca/generous-equipment-donation-by-globalmedic-supports-local-response-to-wildfires/ GlobalFire
