New Fire Truck For Quesnel

By 250 News

Quesnel, B.C. -  City Council in Quesnel has awarded the tender for a new fire engine for the downtown firehall.

The new engine will include a compressed air foam system for a total cost of no more than $550-thousand dollars -- $250-thousand of which will come from the City's 2007 surplus, the remainder will come from the Fire Department's reserve fund.

Once it arrives, the new engine will lead to the retirement of a 1981 Ford fire engine, which will be used at the new North Cariboo Fire Training Centre as support equipment in the training of new firefighters.
