Township of North Stormont Fire Services Committee Minutes

The committee discussed the proposed Fireworks By-law, specifically addressing permit application timelines and the distinction between consumer and display fireworks. Revisions to the Open Air By-law were reviewed, focusing on permit limits for agricultural properties, safety distances for burning, and fee structures. The committee also recommended entering into a Hazardous Material Automatic Aid Agreement with GFL Environmental Inc. Furthermore, the committee evaluated a new Fire Department Establishing and Regulating By-law, which mandates NFPA 1001 Level I and II and NFPA 1072 certifications for structural firefighters, and discussed the implications for personnel training and retention.
