The truck will add to the department’s ability to respond to motor-vehicle incidents on the Trans-Canada Highway, which account for the bulk of its calls

The City of Langford has donated a surplus fire truck to the Cowichan Valley Regional District for the Malahat Volunteer Fire Rescue Service.

“This is a lightly used vehicle and in great shape to meet the needs of the Malahat Fire Department over the next few years,” said Langford Fire Rescue Chief Chris Aubrey. “We’re happy to have it stay in use locally, and it will also provide reciprocal support for Langford, as Malahat is one of our mutual aid fire departments.”

“We were already looking for a replacement truck, so the timing of this donation couldn’t be better,” said Tanya Patterson, fire chief of Malahat Volunteer Fire & Rescue. Equipment that’s in good condition is often donated to smaller and less-resourced departments in the province, or to Central and South American countries, where it still has value for emergency response.
