Enbridge Gas) is helping Clarington Emergency and Fire Services (CEFS) purchase firefighting training materials through Safe Community Project Assist—a program with the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council.
“Thank you to Enbridge Gas for supporting our Clarington firefighters in their life-saving work. This additional training will support our dedicated composite Fire Department as they keep our community safe,” said Mayor Adrian Foster.
This year’s $250,000 donation from Enbridge Gas will be shared by 50 Ontario fire departments, including Clarington Emergency and Fire Services. Funds are used to purchase educational materials to assist in training firefighters in life-saving techniques, said a municipal statement.
“At Enbridge Gas, safety is at the core of what we do. Providing support to Ontario firefighters with emergency response training, we’re equipping the heroes of tomorrow to better protect the communities we live and work in—keeping them healthy and vibrant,” said Banks.
Since the launch of Safe Community Project Assist in 2012, 344 grants have been provided to Ontario fire departments for additional firefighter training.
