FIRE WAGON #1 was revealed on Tuesday evening (Aug 13th).  Nadia Mori (PRFA) and Sonja Leverkus (Northern Fire WoRx & Shifting Mosaics) described how they applied for and obtained funding for “Fire Schools and Fire Wagons” to provide ranchers/farmers in the Peace Region with training and access to top notch gear to protect their properties.

Jack Thiessen discussed how training & access to the equipment in these trainers gives local ranchers/farmers the ability to react quickly to wildfire in their community. Since ranchers/farmers are often the first boots on the ground, access to training & gear will help them be part of the solution to protecting their homes & livelihoods.

Special thank you to the Thiessen family for providing the delicious refreshments & snacks.
