In 2017, the City of Quesnel allocated $76,000 from its share of provincial gaming revenue for hosting the Billy Barker Casino to acquire and maintain the city’s fire and safety equipment. This included a Jaws of Life rescue device, assisted breathing apparatus, and protective clothing to keep firefighters safe when dealing with high temperatures and dangerous materials.
