Thornhill Volunteer Fire Department Chief Rick Boehm, who has been working on behalf of the
Regional District with District of New Hazelton Fire Chief Cliff Coukell on the project says the the vehicle will provide for a growing community.
The Regional District will ceremoniously pass the keys for the new apparatus to New Hazelton
