Origin
Summary
This report seeks to notify City Council of the donation of end-of-life, decommissioned lengths of Fire hose to the City of Yellowknife. This decommissioned equipment was donated, in response to an urgent request by the City of Yellowknife, as they battled widespread wildfires in late August 2023.
The City of Yellowknife contacted TFS, on August 17, 2023, to inquire if TFS had any fire hose that could be donated to the wildfire efforts ongoing in Yellowknife. At that time, TFS was in the process of replacing a quantity of fire hose, on a number of frontline trucks. As such, TFS was able to make 100 lengths of expired and otherwise decommissioned fire hose available for shipment to the City of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
Approval from the City Manager was obtained prior to proceeding with the donation of this decommissioned fire hose.
