Moving forward with the issue, that was the message at Strathroy-Council this week, which was the fire department and the health and safety of its firefighters.
Mayor Colin Grantham introduced a notice of motion stating that the Strathroy-Caradoc Fire Chief be directed to submit a report to Council regarding overall health and safety measures supporting members of the Fire Department, including measures to mitigate the risk of exposure to cancer-causing substances, and that the report be considered on or before the Regular Council meeting date scheduled for June 19th, 2023.
The new station 1 Fire Hall which has been in design for a year now has now completed the design stage, and takes in all standards, as well as Health and Safety, post disaster standards, and industry best practices.
