In Bruce County, highlights include $70,000 apiece for Kincardine and Saugeen Shores. In addition, Ontario Fire Marshall Bernard Moyle has developed a training plan in co-operation with provincial fire co-ordinators to ensure that training opportunities are made available to fire departments. "This program responds to a real need among fire services across Ontario," Moyle said. "It provides fire services with the flexibility to tailor the funding for local needs so that they may continue to deliver outstanding service to the people of this province." Steve Cooke, fire chief for Central Huron, said the money, which arrives in the form of an unconditional grant that must be used within the province's fiscal year, will primarily be used for training. Huron East fire chief Marty Bedard said the county's fire chiefs will be meeting to determine how to use the money. "There's a possibility of running a series of training sessions at the Blyth the North facility. It's be silly for us to not take advantage of that facility," added Cooke.

North Huron fire chief Paul Josling notes the site is becoming increasingly popular and that 25 firefighters were trained in Blyth last week. Central Huron Reeve Bert Dykstra, who was also on hand for the ceremony, said the money will come in especially handy given that a few Central Huron firefighters are retiring and new recruits will require intensive training.
