PETAWAWA - A failure of the communications systems that guide Renfrew County's fire departments during emergency situations could be catastrophic, the town's fire chief is warning council.

Presenting a letter on behalf of the Renfrew County Fire Chief's Association, Chief Steve Knott informed councillors that long standing problems, such as redundancy and interoperability, are posing undue risk and significant liability to municipalities.

RENFREW WANTS COUNTY TO LEAD THE WAY ON COMMUNICATION SYSTEM UPGRADES

County council is likely to be flooded with motions from local municipalities to take the lead in updating emergency communication. Renfrew is the latest to send a motion the county's way on the matter, following a letter from the Renfrew County Fire Chief's Association. Renfrew chief Guy Longtin explains to myFM the limitations of the current system.
