Firefighters to get special plate stickers TORONTO - The province has issued special licence plate stickers to firefighters who respond to emergencies with their personal ve- hicles, Transportation Minister Gilles Pouliot said last Friday. "Thanks to these stickers, police officers at the scene of a fire will be able to identify which vehicles be- long to volunteer and full-time fire- fighters - and allow them clear ac- cess so they can do their job," said Pouliot. Ontario fire chiefs will only dis- tribute str'cketts-ti6' Srefighters who use their own vehicles to respond to emergencies. The stickers are green, with a white Maltese Cross the symbol for volunteer firefigh$ ers. The sticker will be affixed to the bottom left corner of the front vehicle plate. "The sticker docs not give fire- fighters any special privileges - they must still obey all traffic laws," said Pouliot. "But I hope motorists will learn to recognize it and do their best not to block or ob- struct vehicles that volunteers may need at any time." With the support of the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs, North- umberland MPP Joan Fawcett in- troduced a bill to issue the special plate stickers. They were then de- veloped in partnership with the Firefighters' Association of Ontario and the ministries of Transporta- tion, Solicitor General and Correc- tional Services. Fire chiefs will ensure the stick- ers are removed from vehicles if their owners cease to be firefight- ers. Zurich renews subdivision agreement ZURICH - Village council has re- newed the plans for a subdivision first envisioned in the 1970s, but has still to see a house built. The renewal of the draft plan of survey for a subdivision for Mario Sirotic Real Estate Ltd. of Ancaster has become something of a yearly ritual for Zurich council, since the original agreement was first signed in 1975. Reeve Bob Fisher commented on council's yearly duty, despite seeing no development on the property. "On the other hand, we don't want to cut off our noses to spite our face, because one day he might put something there," said Fisher, not- ing that Sirotic had money invested in the property, and would have to start his subdivision process again if the agreement tapsed. Sirotic sent a letter to council ex- plaining he had been hospitalized from November 1993 to April 1994. Council agreed to extend the agreement for another year - to No- vember 1995.
