THUNDER BAY – Municipal decision-makers remain confident in a plan to find savings at Thunder Bay Fire Rescue, despite warnings from the firefighters association that the plan will compromise the safety of their members and the public.
Thunder Bay Professional Firefighters Association president Dennis Brescacin told council Monday his members believe the planned elimination of a dedicated entry control and accountability position – which will allow the department to trim nine positions by attrition by 2024, saving an estimated $1 million a year – will compromise safety.
