Fifty Ontario fire departments getting $5,000 each from Enbridge Gas
The Welland fire department is getting some help from Enbridge Gas.
The company is donating $250,000 to 50 fire departments across Ontario, to help pay for training materials that focus on life-saving techniques.
Since 2012, about 300 grants have been provided through the Safe Community Project Assist program.
The program provides additional training for fire departments in communities where the company operates.
"Safe Community Project Assist improves access to training materials for fire departments," says Jon Pegg, Ontario Fire Marshal and Chair of the FMPFSC. "Firefighting can be dangerous and unpredictable, and these training materials positively contribute to the health and safety of firefighters and the broader community."
"Effective, modern training advancements are paramount to supporting the ongoing development of our firefighters. These training materials will help support the commissioning of our expanded training centre, and by extension, contribute to the safety of citizens and visitors to the City of Welland," says Deputy Fire Chief Burt Lamoureux.
