REPORT BY KÚKPI7 ROSANNE
On November 29, 2024 Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc, Kamloops Fire Rescue and the City of Kamloops came together for the firetruck push. This event was to commemorate our TteS symbol being added to all of the firetrucks that serve our communities daily. The gathering brought together TteS Chief & Council, City Council, our Elders, and community members to celebrate this meaningful collaboration.
This partnership reflects a shared commitment to safety, inclusion, and unity. A special thank you goes to the Fire Chief and Kamloops Fire Rescue staff for their hard work and dedication in serving our communities.
Emergency management and preparedness remain key priorities for Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc. Having our community’s symbol proudly displayed on all fire trucks is a powerful gesture of solidarity and respect. Today’s event showcased the strength of our relationships and our dedication to protecting and serving both communities. Seeing everyone come together was truly inspiring. On behalf of TteS and our Fire Chief Youth Representative, Tyson Peters, we extend our appreciation to everyone who participated and attended the firetruck push.
