Ladder-sit returns for Homecoming weekend

Wolfville Fire Department

The Wolfville Volunteer Fire Department is ready to treat one of their own to a 24-hour shift in a bucket on their ladder truck.

This year, Tucker Hanshaw will be enjoying the view from high above Main Street, showing his commitment to community as he leads his team during their annual fundraising effort. The Lions are also helping out from Friday, September 17 at 6pm through Saturday at 6pm, when truck will return to the station.

Tucker is a third generation firefighter, following in the footsteps of grandfather Kirk (former chief) and mother Robin.

Tucker started at Wolfville Fire as a junior and is now a probationary firefighter with a quick wit, and a desire to help through his unwavering dedication to our community.

Come say "hi" to Tucker, our Fire volunteers, and members of our local Lions Club this weekend and please consider making a donation.

Please be aware that the ladder truck will be staged in the Subway Parking Lot on Main Street starting at 7am on Friday, October 17. This will reduce the stalls available to the public. The full lot will be closed at 6pm when Tucker is raised up in the bucket.
