Home My WebLink AboutThe Citizen, 2010-05-27, Page 6PAGE 6. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MAY 27, 2010.THE EDITOR,I wish to clarify the comments Imade when approached by the press regarding fire services for the Municipality of Morris-Turnberry. Since the dissolution of the previous Fire Board, our costs have risen from $105,000 to $300,000. We have a contract in place to pay North Huron $205,000 and the remainder of the costs are for fire suppression from Howick Township and Huron East (Brussels). There are additional costs for fire calls, additional equipment required for fire suppression and fire prevention services. We will not know the final figure until year end. We reduced the coverage area for North Huron thinking that if they had less area to cover, the charges might be lower, but to no avail.However, the most important thingin this whole exercise is our people.They must have the most efficientand effective level of fire coverage.We have never had any complaints or problems with the performance orefficiency of the previous joint firedepartments (Blyth and Wingham).The concerns we have had are theincreased costs.Mayor Dorothy Kelly • Renovations • New Homes • Sales & Installation of Windows & Doors Call Ken 519-887-9857 Brussels, ON 519-526-7634 ~ Dave Werkema ADDITIONS • RENOVATIONS • GENERAL REPAIRS NEW HOMES C&P PORTABLE TOILETS Teeswater 1-800-834-4414 Ph:519-392-8474 Fax:519-392-6168 * Regular Units * Deluxe Units - sink / flush * Handwash Stations * Wedding / Special Event Units * Wheelchair/Infant Care Units * Comfort Station Trailer C&P - for people who are out and “going”!
