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!

competing companies
Board members and fire
department officers had
spent months looking at
various proposals for the
new radio communications
system and getting com-
peting bids on the equip-
ment.
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.
