The provincial government is funding over 130 projects across the province to strengthen firefighters' ability to respond to emergencies.
“During an emergency, people rely on volunteer firefighters and community fire crews to keep their loved ones and homes safe,” Kelly Greene, Minister of emergency management and climate readiness, said in a news release. “By providing funding for equipment and training, we’re strengthening local firefighting capabilities so that people in rural and remote communities who depend on volunteer or partial volunteer fire departments are safer and better protected.
