Firefighters to receive special licence plates The province has issued special licence plate stickers to firefighters who respond to emergencies with their personal vehicles, Transporta­ tion Minister Gilles Pouliot said Oct. 14. "Thanks to these stickers, police officers at the scene of a fire will be able to identify which vehicles belong to volunteer and full-time firefighters - and allow them clear access so they can do their job," said Mr. Pouliot. Ontario fire chiefs will only distribute stickers to firefighters who use their own vehicles to respond to emergencies. The stickers are green, with a white Maltese Cross, the symbol for volunteer firefighters. The sticker will be affixed to the bottom left comer of the front vehicle plate. "The sticker does not give firefighters any special privileges - they must still obey all traffic laws," said Mr. Pouliot. "But I hope motorists will learn to recognize it and do their best not to block or obstruct vehicles that volunteers may need at any time."
