In 2019, first responders in Canada displayed a spirit of international cooperation by donating a firetruck and four ambulances for use in Belize.
The Rotary Club of Edmonton Riverview, Alberta, which has been coordinating donations of ambulances and medical supplies to Belize for a number of years, helped with logistics. To deliver the firetruck and ambulances, the club applied for the Denton Program, a joint effort of various U.S. government departments and agencies, which provides transportation of humanitarian assistance using military aircraft.
The truck, destined for the city of Corozal, came off the U.S. Air Force transport plane at Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport in Belize City.
