What are everyone's thoughts on recent discussions of the Waterloo Fire Department to enter into a mutual service agreement with Woolwich, Wellesley and Wilmot Townships?
These discussions were started about a week ago in response to a fire on the Woolwich side of Country Squire Road where a Waterloo fire station was about a kilometer away on University Avenue beside RIM Park, but Woolwich volunteer fire from 3 stations in Conestogo, St. Jacobs and Elmira responded. A similar incident happened a few years ago where a house on Wilmot Line caught fire and the residents died as a result.
Is this the beginning of a move to a Regional fire service?
