Pumper 63, a unit out of Station 6 in Nottawa, is getting a pink wrap and going ‘on tour’ throughout the township to raise awareness about cancer.
Â
“Raising money for cancer is important to everyone; everyone knows one or two people who have been affected by cancer in one way or another,” said Tammy Knowler, who is leading the 12-member committee of the township’s crew of paid, on-call firefighters who have spearheaded the wrap project.

Part of the work included approaching local businesses to sponsor cost of the wrapping. That part, it turned out, was likely the easiest, with 10 businesses jumping on board, at $500 each, almost as soon as the committee got off the ground.
