Stettler and County strike new joint fire services agreement after prior intent to separate
The Town and County of Stettler have come to a new modernized agreement for joint fire services.
The announcement comes after the services looked like they could be separated for the first time in 10 years. It was this past April officials gave intent to separate, but also agreed that they would operate jointly until a new agreement or alternate plan could be reached, in order to avoid service gaps. A Town spokesperson confirms there were no service gaps while parties worked out a new intermunicipal plan.
