A
A
Many
of
these
departments
in
small
unincorporated
areas
raise
revenues
through
bottle,
drives
garage
sales
and
grants
like
so
many
other
organizations.
Mr
speaker,
covet
19
has
had
an
impact
on
the
revenue
of
these
very
important
departments
and
they
depend
on
support
to
pay
insurance,
purchase
equipment
for
training
and
ensure
that
all
their
members
are
trained
according
to
the
requirements
of
bc
wildlife,
wildfire
service
and
to
the
training,
standards
and
protocols
established
also
by
the
bc
emergency
health
services.
A
I
want
to
highlight
today
that
the
horsefly
volunteer
fire
department
is
celebrating
their
30th
anniversary
of
the
department
with
a
special
event
to
be
held,
held
this
annual
father's
day
with
a
pancake
breakfast.
The
horsefly
volunteer
fire
department
is
an
unincorporated
volunteer
department
that
provides
all
levels
of
emergency
services
in
the
community
of
horsefly
and
surrounding
area.
A
They
provide
fire
protection,
assist
bc,
ambulance
on
medical
calls,
wildland
fire
protection,
vehicle
incidents,
rescue
calls
whether
it
be
on
the
river
ice
lake
or
in
the
mountains,
and
they
also
provide
public
education
about
fire,
smarting
and
safe
living.
They
have
done
so
much,
mr
speaker
check
out
their
facebook
page
to
help
them
celebrate
their
30th
anniversary.
I
know
each
of
the
volunteer
fire
departments
spend
much
time
in
all
of
their
communities.
Let
us
all
say
thank
you
to
all
of
the
incredible
volunteers
in
fire
departments
across
british
columbia,.
