A northern community will be accepting a donated fire truck from St. Catharines today.
Captain Kevin Beamer and Firefighter Greg Clark will be completing the 20 hour drive to deliver the truck to the Lac Seul First Nation today.
Councillors for the City of St. Catharines agreed to donate the truck with the help of Firefighters Without Borders after a new truck was purchased for the Garden City.
The northern community does not have its own truck, and Beamer and Clark will be sticking around until Saturday to train the firefighters on their new equipment.
Firefighters Without Borders has outfitted the truck with new hoses and other equipment and will also be providing 20 sets of firefighting gear to the northern community.
