Sub-Regional VFDs for the North Shuswap




A over view about the merging of the VFDs  with a common  and tax rates in specific areas. A new sub-regional reserve and one common fire suppression committee per area is being offered to EADs as well as a consolidation of some of the  operations and capital for the area within area “C” was proposed for Area “C”.  In the past there was a three year study, going over the process and discussing with Fire Chiefs  and Fire Suppression Committees about combining them under one umbrella. In this discussion it was found that there could be; cost savings,  in staff time for the  participates. In North Shuswap – with all 3 Fire Departments they could also be brought together.  There could be savings for the North Shuswap VFDs working together and other opportunities. I hope to discuss this further with VFDs on the North Shuswap.
