The Gravenhurst Fire Department is in line for some upgrades following the most recent Town council meeting.
During this month’s meeting councillors signed off on $34,000 for new protective clothing and $109,000 for new radio communications equipment.
According to Fire Chief Jared Cayley, the radio communication system requires upgrades of all its components. To accomplish this task, a capital program has been developed that will run parallel to each component’s recommended replacement schedule.
“This is to ensure that no particular year will see an overwhelming increase to the…capital expenditures while maintaining a robust, modern communications system,” he said. “Purchasing the radio communications from Point-to-Point Communications will see a continuation of a successful history of dependable communications sales and service to Gravenhurst FES. The purchase will also represent the first step to a full capital replacement of all FES communications equipment, demonstrating a commitment to community and firefighter safety.”
