Renovations are forcing the temporary closure of the New Sudbury emergency services, effective Oct. 3, for two to four weeks
The New Sudbury Fire and Paramedic Station is slated to close Oct. 3, for approximately two to four weeks to accommodate renovations.
Despite this, firefighters will again temporarily relocate to the Minnow Lake emergency services station, at 144 Second Ave., which is approximately five kilometres south. “However, because of the specific requirements related to shift operations , health and safety needs protecting our workers, and the requirement for secure indoor space for the apparatus, no alternate location was viable without significant financial investment or renovations exceeding the total project costs,” the city’s statement noted. “Considering all related factors and options, the Minnow Lake station is the most appropriate temporary location.
While at their temporary location in a residential property surrounded by private households, paramedics have pledged to “make every effort to reduce vehicle idling, except when necessary to sustain equipment and supplies that are sensitive to heat and cold conditions,” according to the city’s media release. They also plan on minimizing the use of flashing lights and sirens when leaving the location.
