These sets of PPE will be a welcome addition to use during wildfires and for grass and brush fires that our firefighters respond to throughout the year. Keyera is not only a key player in the oil and gas industry in Greenview but is also a company that recognizes the risks to our community and does something about it. Kudos to them. “
