GROWTH
According to the 2016 census, the County is
growing. Population has grown more than 6% from
the previous census. With the economy expected
to rebound in 2017, it’s safe to assume continued
growth in many areas of the County. This growth
means that Fire Services must adapt to continue to
serve its citizens to the level of service in place, and
the County must ensure its Fire Services department
can support its core strength: the members.
In February of 2016, our Day-time Casual Program
was launched to supplement response gaps during
the day, primarily at our busiest Fire Station — Ste.
Anne East Station. In June of 2016, we added
Station 5 and 7 to this program, and these people
became known as our Central Casuals.
In April of 2016, the second full-time position in the
Fire Services department was approved to support
Operations and Training. Deputy Fire Chief Dufort
was immediately thrust into action on his first day.
In June of 2016, County Council approved Medical
First Response into our Level of Service.
