|The new Haliburton Fire Management Headquarters at the Haliburton/Stanhope Municipal Airport is now officially open following a ribbon cutting ceremony yesterday (August 24th).
Through a $10.1 million investment in firefighting infrastructure, Ontario moved the original Haliburton Fire Management Headquarters out of a residential area and consolidated services at the airport. The project included construction of new equipment storage and warehouse area, along with proper facilities for fire staff. The new facility provides a barrier-free work environment for firefighters and support staff and allows for increased capacity for aircraft at the site during fire season.
Infrastructure improvements will help Aviation Forest Fire and Emergency Services conduct their business more efficiently , using modern technology and building techniques that will help improve our day to day service throughout the Province.
