Enderby Fire Hall Extension on Back Burner

A plan to extend Enderby’s fire hall is now on the back burner.

Cost has forced the Enderby Fire Rescue Society to change its fundraising plans from a hall extension to life-saving equipment.

“New vehicles are made using harder and stronger metals that are more difficult to cut with our existing Jaws of Life equipment, which is twenty-five years old,” says society president Craig Bell.

About $35,000 has been raised so far with the cost of the new equipment expected to total $100,000.
