We are devastated for the Jasper community and other affected areas in Canada due to the wildfires. We remain thankful to our partners GlobalMedic (David McAntony Gibson Foundation) and Canadian Red Cross for their swift response in providing aid and supporting individuals and families affected by these wildfires. If you wish to contribute, please check out the links pinned in the comment section for more details and consider donating to either organization to help with critical emergency aid and recovery efforts for those impacted.
We are expanding our fire skid program to include UTVs. These smaller vehicles can quickly access fires in hard to reach areas and extinguish them before they burn out of control. Help us continue equipping firefighters across the country by donating to our Canadian Wildfire Response fund at www.globalmedic.ca/donate
