The Town of The Pas could receive up to three hundred thousand dollars from the Canadian Red Cross to strengthen wildfire response.

Town Council is being asked to approve a funding agreement for a Value Protection Trailer and related equipment for the local Fire Department.

The equipment would help protect homes, businesses and critical infrastructure during wildfires, while also supporting emergency response in neighbouring communities.

The project would be fully funded through the grant, with no municipal capital contribution required.

Administration recommends Council approve the agreement to secure the fund.
