Dashwood tanker truck In
need of repair or replacement
I)ASHWOOD - The tanker truck for the Dashwood Fire Department,
like so many others in the province, is in need of upgrades, or even
compte& replacement.
Fire chief Jim Hoffman said that the truck failed to pass its last safety
inspection, much in the same way that the Henson Department's tanker
failed its last inspection.
A lack of baffles in the tank to prevent splashing water from rolling
the truck, and the need for structural improvements to the truck's frame
were said to be needed to keep the truck on the road.
Hoffman said he didn't want to make any comments further than that
on the truck because it will be up to the fire department board, and the
council's of Hay and Stephen Townships, to decide whether to go
ahead with repairs, or replace the entire vehicle.
Hay Township, at their July 5 meeting last Monday, approved a mo-
tion to insist the truck be refurbished, including the baffles and chassis
repairs due to financial constraints. The purchase of a new truck, said
council, was out of the question.
Last Tuesday evening, however, Stephen Township council agreed to
seek two more quotations on the costs of repairing the tanker.
A special fire board meeting is scheduled for this week, likely this
evening, to discuss what options exist for the tanker truck - and wheth-
er or not the repairs proposed will be adequate or worthwhile.
Province issues plate stickers
for Ontario firefighters
TORONTO - The government is
issuing special licence plate stick-
ers for the personal vehicles of vol-
unteer and full-time firefighters
across the province, Transportation
Minister Gilles Pouliot announced
Friday.
"The special stickers allow the
public and enforcement community
to identify the personal vehicles of
firefighters," said Pouliot. "We
hope all motorists •will ensure they
don't block or otherwise impede ac-
cessibility to these vehicles, which
May be needed to respond to an
emergency at any time."
The front plate stickers replace
windshield stickers that have been
used by some volunteer firefight-
ers, especially in smaller communi-
ties and rural areas.
The amendment to the Highway
Traffic Act to permit the special
plate stickers is the result of recom-
mendations from a committee that
included representatives of the As-
sociation of Fire Chiefs, enforce-
ment agencies and the ministries of
Transportation, Health and Solici-
tor General and Correctional Ser-
vices:
Local fire chiefs will administer
the sticker distribution. The sticker
'will be removed when a vehicle
owner is no longer active as a fire-
fighter.
"It's important to keep in mind
Ithat while there are no special priv
leges associated with the sucker,
we ask the public to co-operate to
tittittt it

ensure firefighters can quickly re-
spond to an emergency," said Pou-
liot.
Exeter Fire Chief Gary Middle-
ton said Ontario Fire Chiefs had
been lobbying the province to al-
low volunteer firefighters to use a
green light on their cars while trav-
elling to fires and other emergen-
cies.
The stickers, he said, won't be of
much use on moving vehicles, "but
every little bit helps to improve rec-
ognition of firefighters' vehicles.
