CALGARY, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - For the fifth
year in a row, Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina" or the
"Company") (TSX: PPL; NYSE: PBA) has committed to supporting local
volunteer fire departments in the Company's operating communities
by providing them with much-needed funds through Pembina's Fire Prevention Project.
"It's a natural fit for Pembina
to support volunteer fire departments since safety and emergency
response preparedness is a top priority for us," says Martin
Clough, Senior Manager, Safety, Security & ERP for Pembina
Pipeline Corporation. "As a responsible operator, having both the
right equipment and necessary training is the foundation for these
departments. As a result, we are committed to helping ensure
volunteer fire departments in communities in which we operate have
the resources they need to respond effectively."
This year, Pembina will invest
a total of $100,000, the Company's
largest contribution to date for this program. The donation will be
divided between 31 volunteer fire departments in communities across
the Company's operations, and will support the purchase of new
equipment and/or training as needed locally.
Chief Leo Sabulsky of the
Chetwynd Fire Department explains
the impact of Pembina's Fire
Prevention Project: "The Chetwynd
Fire Department has 52 years of history and 24 years of operating a
rescue truck. With these funds, our volunteers are happy to
have the addition of certified struts for vehicle stabilization,
which provide greater safety for those trapped in
vehicles. Before, they had to improvise with ropes and other
devices. As the Fire Chief, I wish to give my wholehearted thanks
to the Pembina team for thinking
of our team."
Pembina's community investment
program supports non-profit and charitable organizations that are
based in, or support, the communities where they operate. Within
this framework, Pembina's
investment decisions and partnerships are focused on initiatives
that improve access to education, protect or preserve the
environment, promote safety, create community space, and encourage
recreation and a healthy lifestyle. To learn more about our
