vCouncillors concerned about approving new fire service agreement with Guelph!Eramosa The Canadien Champion, Tueaday, Apil 16, 2002--0 By RICHARD VIVIAN The Champion Plans to initiate a reciprocal fire service agreement with the Township of Gueiph/Eramosa were halted - at least temporari- ly - after concerns were raised about their ability to provide the service. "Until you can show me evidence that response times will be better t'm flot ready ta support this," Counclor Banry Lee said of a reciprocal agreement presented ta the Milton community services committee ias week. "I'm reaily concemred that response times will flot be any better. ln fact, they could be a lot worse." Milton Fire Chief Harold Penson pre- sented the reciprocat service agreement as part of an effort ta iniprove response times ta thse north end of town. Committee mem- bers deferred tbe agreement with Guelpis/Eramosa until tse Town council meeting Monday. Other reciprocal agreements with the Town of Hatton His and City of Mississauga were approved. Tme trials haven't been conducted witb Guelph/Eraniosa firefigisters, but sicy're physically closer than the Haltan His fire- figisters who currently provide service ta north Milton, Chief Penson said. "We haven't had Usem (Guelpis/Eramosa tire departanent) corne into Use ares for years and Use only way ta monitor Usem is ta actually do it (respond ta an incident)," lie told the comsnittee. "But Use only way ta get Usem into Use ares is ta bave an agreement, because Usey can't corne in without an agreement." BoUs Hatan Hilas and Guelph/Eramosa tire departmenta consiat of volunteer tire- figisters. But Chief Penson's commenta did littie ta relieve Mr. Lee's concernas. 111 don't want Usem going backwards and forwarda. If Usey don't know Use ares, Usey'll get lost. It's taken yeara for Halton Hilis ta get ta know Use ares and t'm flot willing to at wiUs Usat until we bave some fuather evidence," lie argued. "t'm flot prepared for my residenta up Usere ta be scapegoats ta find out wheUser it (reciprocal agreement) worka or flot." Prior ta Use issue being raised as tawn council, Use comm-ittee instructed Chief Penson ta meet wiUs Use Guelph/Eramosa tire chuef ta discuas routing ta ensure appropriate geographic knowtedge of north Milton.
