A new piece of equipment will help firefighters in Superior get clean faster and easier when they are out on certain calls.
Enbridge has donated a $400,000 53-foot decontamination trailer to the city. Jeff Foster Trucking is also assisting by storing the trailer at their location, and having people available to move it to a scene when needed.
Fire Chief Scott Gordon says the trailer won’t be used for every call they are on, but ones where hazardous materials could be present. That would have included the Husky Refinery explosion back on April 26, 2018.
“If we get a truck spill,” says Gordon. “If we get a trail derailment. We can come up with scenario after scenario where other businesses other than Enbridge are going to benefit from the City of Superior having this.
