The Vermilion Lake emergency services station hasn’t had volunteer firefighters since 2018, when two were recorded on its roster
The Vermilion Lake emergency services station is on the chopping block, with the planning committee of city council supporting a resolution on Monday declaring it surplus.This, pending city council ratification at the June 25 city council meeting, which Monday’s unanimous planning committee support makes likely to happen.
The Vermilion Lake station’s operations have already been absorbed by the Dowling station and hasn’t had volunteer firefighters since 2018, when the city recorded two as members. The vote passed with a 9-4 vote of city council members, with Ward 1 Coun. Mark Signoretti, Ward 7 Coun. Natalie Labbée, Ward 2 Coun. Michael Vagnini and Ward 3 Coun. Gerry Montpellier voting against the resolution.
Montpellier also clarified that the city couldn’t find enough volunteer firefighters in the area to keep the station open. The minimum number of volunteer firefighters most insurers require for catchment areas to be considered protected by a volunteer fire station is 15.
