Goliath Disposal of Weyburn – a full service waste and recycling hauler serving 鶹Ƶeast Saskatchewan – wanted to do something different for the communities they serve. Deciding on purchasing a City of Calgary fire truck they would present it to a local Fire Department in need. This is exactly what they did on Wednesday, Oct. 25, when the Kisbey Fire Department was presented with the fire truck – a newer model than their previous truck.
“We looked to see who in our area of 鶹Ƶeast Saskatchewan was in need of a fire truck, so while we were investigating I spoke with John [Voutour] and asked him some questions,” Teresa Sterling with Goliath Disposal explained. “We decided this community needs it. We wanted to give something back to the communities that support us, and the Village of Kisbey and R.M. of Brock have supported us and were in need of a fire truck.”
The decision to donate a fire truck was the want to do something different and the realization that it would make a big impact – everyone needs emergency services and the volunteers put a lot of time into ensuring the service is available. The donation of a fire truck helps volunteers to best be prepared when attending a fire call.
“It was a total surprise,” John Voutour, Kisbey Fire Chief, stated excitedly. “I can’t say enough about their generosity. I’m just flabbergasted. It’s a huge donation for us and will make a big difference.”
