A recent donation to the
Quesnel Fire Department
has given firefighters added
ability to help in emergency
situations and to help free
trapped motorists.
Local West Fraser Mills
donated a set of Jaws of
Life, a set of Pneumatic Air
Bags and a firefighting water
monitor.’
“This equipment will greatly
increase our capabilities to
help rescue people who could
be trapped in their vehicle or
under heavy equipmen,” City
of Quesnel fire Chief Sylvain
Gauthier said.
The set of pneumatic air
bags will enable firefighters to
save lives by rescuing victims
from underneath vehicles or
other heavy equipment.
This is an extremely useful
tool as it can be inserted into
narrow opening where most
other tools will not fit.
Members of the Quesnel
Fire Department were very
excited about the donation of
this equipment and are very
thankful to West Fraser Mills
for their generosity.
“We are pleased to make
this donation in recognition
of the support and outstanding
commitment the
Quesnel Fire Department
members have provided to
all local West Fraser mills
and to the community over
the years,” WestPine MDF
