Join the Fire u hese P The Wingham Advance -Times, Nov. 13, 1985—Page41 The Wingham Area Fire Board has recommended to its successor that it purchase a new communications system costing about $21,500 for the fire department. Part of the purchase is linked to the proposed No. 2 fire station at Howick and is contingent on that station being established - some- thing which was not certain prior to this week's municipal elections. A second part would up- date the existing com- munications system at the Wingham Fire Department, replacing a costly system of fire phones with portable radios which are expensive initially but should pay for themselves within two years. It also provides a mobile two-way radio for the new rescue van which was ex- pected to arrive in Wingham within the week. The board finally made its decision to recommend purchase of the equipment from Two -Way Com- munications Ltd. of Waterloo after yet another meeting with representatives of Deal with the pros who really carry the ball for you!

It came down to a choice between proposals by Bill's TV and Electronics of Mild- may and Two -Way Com- munications, with the fire officers and board opting for the latter. Both systems were very similar in price but the board and firemen felt the equipment offered by Two -Way would better meet their needs. In a related matter, the board voted to accept a proposal to install a backup fire phone at the switchboard at the Wingham and District Hospital. This will be in- tegrated into the new communications system as a fail-safe mechanism in case of any problems with the radios. The hospital had offered to provide the answering service at an annual cost to the board of about $700. The board also authorized the putchase of extrication equipment for use by the firefighters at a cost of about $10,Q00. This will be placed in the new rescue van, making it eligible for a 50 per cent grant. . Another motion authorized the Howick firefighters to carry out the necessary minor repairs and retro- fitting required to equip the recently -acquired tanker as a fire -fighting vehicle, with costs to be paid by the board. Firemen in Howick have been working on the tanker and it is expected to be ready for duty soon. In a final motion which appeared to be directed at the possibility of a new Howick council deciding to pull out of the fire board, the board decreed that any municipality which is not a member of the board and wants to purchase protection will be charged an hourly rate set at one and a half times the normal operating costs. At ,itoday's figures, Turn - berry Reeve Brian Mc- Burney noted, that would amount to about $1,500 an hour. Before the board ad- journed, Chairman Jack Stafford thanked all the members- as well as the fire officers for their cooperation during the past year. He said he hoped the majority of board members would be back again, noting the board is at a critical stage and there are many critical decisions to be made during the coming months.
