The neighbouring fire services will provide coverage from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on October 20. Firefighters and trucks from each of these fire departments will be onsite at the stations in South Simcoe to ensure timely response in the case of an emergency.
There is no change to how residents request assistance – dial 911.
“We want to thank the fire departments from these neighbouring communities for making themselves available to support us,” says Brent Thomas, Fire Chief, Town of Innisfil/Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury.
