Garage fire2Council has approved several changes to the North Bay Fire Services. This includes adopting the shift towards Risk Management and Dynamic Staffing based on a single family dwelling, as well as the elimination of the minimum staffing of 16 with suppression.

 

Those are big changes says Chair of Engineering and Works Tanya Vrebosch, and that’s why she put an amendment forward at last night’s (Monday) meeting.

The amendment, which was approved, says the Fire Chief would report to council every 2 months and update council on those changes.

 

Vrebosch says that would allow them to talk about what level of service they want as a council and what they are willing to spend on it.
