Gun Lake Fire Announces the Purchase of a New Fire Truck
Gun Lake Fire is GUN LAKE FIRE BRIGADE (GLF) is pleased to announce the purchase of a new Profire Wildland Max 5 Fire Truck to be delivered in May of 2025. This acquisition was financially supported by generous community donations, the GLF volunteer wildland firefighters donations, the McLean McCuaig Foundation and the financial support of the Province of British Columbia. The new wildfire truck will replace the current fire truck which is approaching the end of its service life.
GLF Announces Donation of Unimog by the McLean McCuaig Foundation
GLF has received an extremely generous charitable gift of a Unimog All Terrain Vehicle from the McLean McCuaig Foundation. The Unimog will be outfitted with a 500 gallon water tank and pump and will be used as a backup fire truck as well as a rescue vehicle.
Fire Truck Replacement
Gun Lake Fire announced an official fundraising campaign in May 2024 to raise funds for the purchase of a new Wildland Fire Truck as the current 1991 model is at the end of its serviceable life.
As a kick start to the campaign, the McLEAN McCUAIG FOUNDATION, a valued community member, has committed to a donation of $50,000 toward the fire truck. GLF is asking the community to match this generous donation. Donations can be made by e-transfer to glfpsfinance@gmail.com or by visiting the GLF “GoFundMe” at
https://www.gofundme.com/f/gun-lake-fire-protection-society-new-firetruck-fundraiser
Achieving this goal will put GLF in a strong position to leverage donated funds to obtain grants to help purchase the truck.
It is important to note that members of GLF, who would have been entitled to compensation under the contract with BCWS during the 2023 Downton Lake Wildfire K71649, voted to donate their compensation to GLF to assist with the purchase of a replacement fire truck.
We extend our sincere thanks to the many community members that have generously donated funds to the purchase of a replacement fire truck since the fire!!
