Manitoba is equipping 12 fire departments in the Parkland region with new wildland firefighting equipment, including Fire Skids, each with a 1,000 litre water tank, pump, and forestry hose. This initiative stems from a collaboration between the Manitoba government and GlobalMedic to support fire departments identified as priorities due to significant wildland fire risks.
In total, 32 fire departments across Manitoba will receive this equipment. Last year, the Manitoba Fire Service was supplied with 68 Fire Skids during the 2025 wildfire season, underlining the growing emphasis on improving wildfire response capabilities in the province. The strategic provision of this equipment may mitigate wildfire impacts in vulnerable areas.
