Fire Dept. Honoured The Whitby Fire Depart- ment was recently honoured for its fine work in the area of fire protection. The Whitby department was named first in its class (population between 25,000 to 100,000) in Ontario, se- cond in its class in Canada and third overall in Canada. Last year, the department was in the 10,000 to 25,000 population category. Much of the credit for the awards goes to Platoon Chief Ken Corner who compiles a scrapbook of the depart- ments work and submits it to the National Fire Protection Association in Boston which oversees fire departments throughout Canada and the United States.
