After months of searching for the solution that best represents the wants and needs of the residents and works within the budget of the municipality Ashfield-Colborne- Wawanosh (ACW), fire coverage in Auburn and area may finally be uniform. During its Sept. 6 council meeting, ACW Council was informed that, by the end of the month, the fire protection polygons, which determine which fire departments respond to a fire, will be aligned to have all of Auburn covered by the North Huron Fire Department. What started out as a budgetary matter quickly became a catalyst for the people of Auburn who happen to live in either Central Huron or ACW. Both Central Huron and ACW councils were unhappy with theperceived price jumping fire coverage that having the Fire Department of North Huron cover areas of their municipality would cost them. While a demonstration on the steps of Central Huron’s municipal offices would lead them back to the bargaining table, ACW was informed by Central Huron’s fire department that they could offer the same coverage, minus medical first response for far less. While this issue appealed to ACW councillors, who were trying to reconcile a $14,000 difference between one year’s $7,000 coverage costs and the new $21,000 bill they had received, it didn’t appeal to the ratepayers in Auburn. Those Auburn residents who lived in ACW were part of a small group that were covered by Central Huron’s fire department, while theNorth Huron and Central Huron parts of Auburn were covered by the newly minted Fire Department of North Huron out of the Blyth fire hall. Eventually it came to light that, while the cost seemed more expensive, the Fire Department of North Huron’s budget was created with one purpose; to plan the replacement of equipment instead of having communities that benefit from said equipment making one- time large expenditures. ACW would pay approximately $100,000 over five years, as an example, instead of paying $35,000 over five years and having to budget $65,000 for a new fire truck. The new budget would have reserves, making those kinds of replacements, which can often be unexpected, something that doesn’t need to be worried about.After several months of debate, councillors at ACW began to feel uneasy with their decision. Councillor Barry Millian said that, when he had decided to go with the Central Huron Fire Department, he was under the impression that they were offering the same service ACW residents had came to expect from the Blyth fire hall. However, he stated that he felt that wasn’t true, and other councillors, including councillor Doug Miller agreed with him. The majority of ACW council would come around to this train of thought eventually. Through the efforts of Auburn residents, ACW and North Huron Councillors and fire chiefs from Goderich, Lucknow, North Huron and Central Huron, an tentative agreement was presented to ACW and North Huron councils earlier this year.After some adjustments were made, the councils and fire chiefs agreed on the new plan. By the end of September, that plan should be in place for Auburn and area residents, resulting in a larger area being covered by the Blyth Fire Department prior to amalgamation, as was originally suggested by the Fire Department of North Huron. Fire Department of North Huron Fire Chief John Black put forward the original plan with the intent of the closest fire hall always responding to the fire. With the exception of some areas covered by the Goderich Fire Department, southern ACW will now follow that idea. The Goderich areas, while originally part of the proposed plan, have been put on hold until after the fallout from the Aug. 21 tornado there is dealt with.
