The Township of Hamilton initiated the Northumberland Municipal Fire Services Review to provide the Fire Service Review Steering Committee and the Fire Chiefs with recommendations and information to make informed decisions regarding fire and life safety services for the County Municipalities.
An Independent Review of Northumberland Municipal Fire Services was analyzed and summarized all fire services and programs provided by the Departments and examined each Department's core functions. Additionally, opportunities to enhance fire service delivery by working together through partnerships and shared services to help manage future legislative pressures and the increased community demands for service were explored.
