Donated Fire Apparatus Headed from Grande Prairie (Canada) to Honduras

The refurbished 1987 Ford C800 was bought at an auction and donated to the Edmonton Riverview Rotary Club. Having heard about the Grande Prairie club’s efforts, they got in touch. Using a $10,000 budget and many donated services, the truck was repaired, given a fresh coat of paint, and winterized.  

Once in Grande Prairie, it was inspected by Fountain Tire and had new tires and rims installed by TireSmith Tirecraft. The finishing touches were put on by Auto Grande Prairie North and TrimFX, and Prairie Villa Insurance covered the insurance premiums. Both the City and County of Grande Prairie then donated expired gear, which was re-certified by Vallen Safety Supply Equipment.
