Enbridge Inc. has shown its support of the Hastings & Prince Edward Counties Fire Training Complex with a donation of $10,000 toward the purchase of safety equipment for its new training facility. Among the new equipment are radios, air fill stations, hoses, fire truck appliances and textbooks for future training needs. The donation was presented to Prince Edward County Deputy Fire Chief, Robert Rutter Friday at the Picton Fire Hall.
The Hastings & Prince Edward Counties Fire Training Complex is used by the 17 member fire departments of the Hastings & Prince Edward Counties Mutual Fire Aid Association. The military base, some police forces, industrial emergency crews, municipal employees and fire fighters from outside the area use the training facility or have attended courses at the complex.
“We are pleased to support the Hastings & Prince Edward Counties Fire Training Complex because it helps keep the community safe,” said Ken Hall, Senior Advisor, Public Affairs with Enbridge. “The new equipment is essential to providing the best training experience for the communities’ front line of emergency responders.”
The Enbridge Safe Community Program provides financial support to first responders and safety driven organizations to acquire new equipment, obtain professional training or deliver educational programs. The program has provided funding to organizations across Canada for more than four years.
