Saskatoon Gets Pink Fire Truck
Saskatoon’s first pink fire truck will be patrolling city streets to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research. Firefighters have long seen their colleagues, mothers, wives and daughters fight breast cancer and want to make a difference.
Fire Engine 12 is painted a traditional red but it will be wrapped in pink for the month of October. Saskatoon residents will be able to sign the pink fire truck in exchange for a $10 donation to breast cancer research. Please make sure the truck is not involved in an emergency before approaching.
Engine 12 will continue to be an integral part of the Saskatoon Fire Department’s fleet during October. If possible, the pink truck will be at following events:
- Woman’s World Show at Prairieland Park on October 1.
- Ladies Optimist Gala at TCU Place on October 15.
- C95 Radio Marathon for Breast Cancer Research at the Circle Centre Mall on October 21.
- Breast Health Comedy Night at the Parktown Hotel on October 21st
The pink truck is the result of a three-way partnership between the Saskatoon Fire Department, IAFF Local 80 and Cowan Imaging Group who donated the costs associated with installing the wrap.
All proceeds will be donated to the C95 Radio Marathon for Breast Cancer Research to fund research being done right here in Saskatoon.
