Rural residents push back on 35 65 split for new fire truck
District Director Tim Caton voices concern over funding a new $210 000 fire truck for the Chetwynd district. After December discussions lowering rural share to 20 per cent, Caton doubts the purchase, noting rural taxes would rise 72 per cent under prior split. Fire Chief Leo Sabulsky argues a new truck is essential to avoid ongoing maintenance costs.
