Volunteer firefighters in Abbotsford are among those across Canada who will benefit from a campaign sponsored by Duracell batteries.
The Power Those Who Protect Us campaign involves shoppers purchasing specially marked AA20 packs of Duracell batteries. For every pack sold, Duracell will add two batteries to a donation that will be divided among volunteer fire departments across Canada.
Each pack purchased contains a code which shoppers can enter online to direct the battery donation to the volunteer fire department of their choice.
Duracell will also make a cash donation to the Canadian Volunteer Fire Services Association.
The donated batteries will help power communication devices and life-saving equipment such as flashlights, thermal imaging cameras, chemical detectors and defibrillators.
Abbotsford has 106 auxiliary firefighters among its seven halls.
