Happy BC day! And what better way to celebrate than helping the PG humane society? They aren’t even asking you to buy a ticket, they just want you to share a post (but buying a ticket is the best option)
We will do almost anything for puppies!

It’s not every day you get a piece of your history back.

Today, Local 1372 proudly welcomed home this 1953 GMC Fire Truck, thanks to the generosity of Grant Moulder, who carefully preserved it, and NC Ron’s Towing, who generously donated the transportation to bring it home.

A huge thank you to both Grant and NC Ron’s Towing for helping preserve an important piece of Prince George’s firefighting history.

Our goal is to restore this apparatus to its original glory and proudly display it alongside our beautifully restored 1927 Rio. It won’t be an easy project—bringing this truck back to life will require specialized labour, hard-to-find parts, and plenty of dedication.

If you’re a current or retired member, a local business, or someone who would like to help preserve a piece of Prince George history, we’d love to hear from you.

Together, we can ensure this historic fire truck is enjoyed for generations to come.

Let’s make this old fire truck great again! 🚒❤️

July 14th was a dark day for the City of Prince George with Canfor announcing that it will permanently close the Northwood Pulp Mill. This not only affects the 300 workers of the mill, many of which belonged to Unifor Local 603, but also down stream suppliers, workers and all their families.

Prince George Firefighter and Dispatchers from Local 1372 are deeply saddened by this news as many members were previous Canfor employees and are still connected with that community.

On behalf of our members, we extend our sincere thoughts and support to everyone affected by the recent Canfor layoffs. We recognize the uncertainty and hardship that comes with job loss and stand with the workers, their families, and the Prince George community during this challenging time
