The following has been submitted by the Uniacke & District Volunteer Fire Department<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n MOUNT UNIACKE: Uniacke Fire has been participating in an online provincial 50\/50 draw that supports fire departments since the early summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our community members have been extremely supportive, and we have been able to raise quite a bit of funds as a result. This has been helpful especially since we had to cancel our annual Firefighter Fair in the spring to due Covid 19. The fair is our main fundraising event each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We recently spent just over $8,100 of our 50\/50 profits on some medical items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The department purchased first aid kits ($1103) for each firefighter to keep in their vehicle and three new Automated External Defibrillators ($7107) to replace some older units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate group=”2″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mount Uniacke has quite a large fire district and many firefighters respond to emergencies using their personal vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first aid kits could be used at a variety of different calls we respond to. The newer AEDs are compatible with units used by paramedics and are dispersed with firefighters at key geographic areas within the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We would like to thank community members for their continued support for the fire department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”96″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [adrotate banner=”78″] The following has been submitted by the Uniacke & District Volunteer Fire Department MOUNT UNIACKE: Uniacke Fire has been participating in an online provincial 50\/50 draw that supports fire departments since the early summer.
