Mirror Fire Department on its last breath
The Mirror Fire Department could be shutting down in the very near future.
Lacombe County revealed on Friday that the department has failed to see any increase in volunteers over the last 18 months.
A public meeting will be held as one final revitalization effort on July 25. There, residents will hear about the options and ramifications of closing the fire department altogether.
“We have to meet the minimum standards to make this department viable and to perform the duties of a fire department safely, we need to comply with regulations,” explained Lacombe County Fire Chief Drayton Bussiere. “At the end of the day, we need the community to understand the importance of these minimum standards, as well as how it will affect their service levels and potential impacts to insurance if the Fire Department is not revitalized.”
