WELLINGTON NORTH – Firefighting training has received a boost, courtesy of Enbridge Gas Inc.
The utility company has given $5,000 to Wellington North Fire Service to purchase training materials to supplement existing training through the Safe Community Project Assist program run by the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council.
“At Enbridge, safety is at the centre of everything we do and a value we live by,” said Desirée Swance, advisor of municipal and stakeholder affairs community engagement for Enbridge Gas, in a news release. “We are committed to providing emergency response training support to Ontario firefighters so they can continually learn, improve, and protect the vibrant and healthy communities they call home.”
WNFS has about 50 volunteer firefighters operating out of stations in Mount Forest and Arthur.
“This funding from Enbridge Gas through the Safe Community Project Assist program allows us to enhance our training program and ensure our firefighters have the resources they need to stay prepared,” says Chris Harrow, Fire Chief of Wellington North Fire Service. “We are grateful for this investment in our team and appreciate their commitment to supporting local fire departments and community safety.”
