Regional district approves $155K+ in fire equipment for Charlie Lake
The Peace River Regional District board of directors has approved new fire equipment for the Charlie Lake Fire Department to the tune of over $155,900.
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The Charlie Lake Fire Department is getting another round of new equipment from the Peace River Regional District (PRRD).
During the December 5th meeting, the regional board approved a quote for fire department personal protective gear for $155,960 excluding taxes.
The personal protective equipment includes structural boots, gloves and helmets for each firefighter, and will be sourced from Associated Fire Safety Group, a Canadian firefighter equipment company.
During a meeting in August, the Rural Budgets Administration Committee set a budget of $200,000 for the equipment purchase.
The department also received 30 self-contained breathing apparatus earlier in the year at a cost of approximately $445,500.
The money for the equipment comes from funding set aside from Electoral Area C Peace River Agreement funds.
