Oil Springs Seeks Funding for Fire Hall Air Exchanger
The Village of Oil Springs aims to enhance protection for its volunteer firefighters by applying for a provincial fire protection grant.
The grant, intended to support cancer prevention initiatives for municipal firefighters, can be used to purchase equipment, supplies, and minor infrastructure upgrades, as part of a broader effort to promote firefighter health and safety.
The $16,000 grant represents half of the cost of the air exchanger.
This initiative follows previous discussions on improving firefighter safety, including the Ministry of Labour's 2024 recommendation for new washrooms and shower facilities to enable decontamination after calls.
