Lloydminster Fire Department partners with Cenovus for temporary aerial apparatus
Lloydminster, AB/SK – The Lloydminster Fire Department is partnering with Cenovus Energy to secure a temporary aerial ladder truck, ensuring uninterrupted emergency response capabilities while Tower 18, the department’s T-Rex aerial apparatus, undergoes scheduled recertification.
Tower 18 supports fire suppression and victim rescue by offering firefighters a stable, elevated platform. As part of its lifecycle maintenance, the unit is required to receive recertification to meet safety and performance standards.
During this process, Cenovus—currently storing its ladder truck in preparation for bolstering its on-site emergency services later this year—will provide its T-Rex aerial ladder truck, ensuring the Lloydminster Fire Department maintains full operational capacity.
This initiative is a testament to the strong partnership and a mutual aid agreement signed in 2023. It highlights both organizations’ dedication to community safety and emergency preparedness, ensuring that fire protection and rescue services remain at the highest standard.
