When a fire chief in rural Nova Scotia came across a post about a fire department in rural Saskatchewan losing everything in a fire, he knew his department had to do something.
After the fire, his department bought a used pumper and borrowed enough equipment to get by. Slowly, the department was able to rebuild.Plans changed after Shinimicas learned of Archerwill's plight."We brought it to a meeting with the membership and the proposal was ... we don't sell it anymore and we tell them they can have it."Mundle went back online and found a phone number for the Rural Municipality of Barrier Valley, where Archerwill is located.
"But it was definitely heartwarming to have it happen to us," he said. "And being that far away, it was kind of surreal for the fact that it was actually going to happen."He said the Archerwill department has already replaced two vehicles and the third will make a full complement.
