Neighbours helping Neighbours . . . . Volunteer Today

In an effort to save tax dollars, the Township Fire Department has adopted a series of guidelines to curb the growing problem of unnecessary fire calls.

• Read our by-law for controlled burns

The Township requires all burns to be called into the Township Office. This helps us to make sure that fires are being performed in a safe way, as well as making sure that firefighters are only sent out to real fires - this saves money and makes sure that when a real fire happens, people and vehicles are available. Failure to call in a burn could mean that you'll be faced with the cost of sending firefighters out to your property.
