Beaverly (Canada) Fire Department to Get $1M Fire Engine

The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George board of directors approved the purchase of a $1 million fire engine for the Beaverly Fire Rescue service on Sept. 22, PrinceGeorgeCitizen.com reported.

The original budget for the replacement fire truck was $850,000, but the volunteer department was forced to increase the budget to get the vehicle they needed, the report said.

Due to longer delivery times and increased costs, Beaverly Fire Rescue ordered the new frontline engine earlier in order to accommodate the longer delivery time frames involved and still meet the timeline to have the new engine in service in 2024, according to a city official.
