Bedard reports fire activity to Morris-Turnberry By Denny Scott The Citizen Slightly less than one quarter of the total fire calls the Huron East Fire Department's Brussels station responded to in 2016 were in Morris-Turnberry. Huron East Fire Department Chief Marty Bedard made his annual presentation to Morris-Turnberry Council during its April 4 meeting and stated that the Brussels station, which responds to fires in the southern sections of Morris- Turnberry, had 41 total calls in 2016. Of those 41 calls, eight were in Morris-Turnberry resulting in 14 hours of firefighting service. That represents a 40 per cent increase in firefighting hours (14 hours from 10) over 2015 and a one - call increase from seven in 2015 to eight in 2016. Recognition Prior to his departure from Morris-Turnberry earlier this year, Fire Prevention Officer James Marshall received his National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) 1021 Fire Officer Level IV qualifiaction, the highest in his field. Marshall returned to Morris-Turnberry for its April 4 council meeting to receive the certificate from Mayor Paul Gowing, left. (Denny Scott photo) Of the calls, four were medical, three were motor vehicle collisions and one was a mutual aid call to assist the Fire Department of North Huron at a house fire in Bluevale. Bedard's report indicated that Morris-Turnberry does not get charged for mutual aid calls from Huron East in which the Brussels station is assisting. Bedard's report indicated that the Brussels station had only one fire - related call that year, an unauthorized open air burn. The station responded to zero vehicle, structure or grass and field fires throughout 2106. A break -down of the 41 calls included 24 medical calls, five automatic alarms, four mutual aid calls, one perceived emergency call and one unauthorized open air burn. Bedard outlined the training that the fire department has undertaken including monthly practices, special training for some members and the ongoing efforts to have each firefighter achieve Level 1 training according to the International Fire Service Training Association. New equipment was purchased for the fire department including scheduled personal protective equipment, the natural gas generator for the Brussels station and a "Blitzfire" hose nozzle which allows for sustained water delivery with special anchoring options. As for personnel, two firefighters left the department while four new members, Melissa Jacklin, Chris Riley, Curtis White and Bronson Bechard, joined the Brussels station. Captain Doug Sholdice was awarded his second provincial bar for 35 years of service. Firefighter Jason Vandermeer was presented a certificate and pin for 10 years with the department and Duane Gibson retired after 16 years on the job. Council received Bedard's report.
