The bulk of it, or $4.6M, will be spent on 3,400 sets of wildland coveralls and P25 radios, which will help in areas lacking cell service.
Government has made a pre-budget announcement of over $7 million in new funding for equipment, supplies, staffing, volunteer firefighter training, and emergency preparedness resources. The bulk of it, or $4.6M will be spent on 3,400 sets of wildland coveralls and P25 radios, which will help in areas lacking cell service. The rest of the money will be spent on things like specialized sprinkler trailers, four regionally-station trailers stocked with equipment, wildfire training, and upgrades.
Budget 2026 will also give volunteers a break they deserve by doubling the tax credit for volunteer firefighters and search and rescue volunteers. In addition, the Provincial Government will invest $412,805 to double internal staff resources to deal with emergencies.
