City Reaches Fire Protection Agreement With MNR

The Ministry of Natural Resources and the City of Kenora have reached
a tentative five year agreement for fire protection.

Fire Chief Warren Brinkman says they looked at six possible options.

He says in the end they decided the city would be best served if MNR fire crews were responsible for islands and the northeast quadrant of the
municipality.

Brinkman says while the agreement will cost the city just over 100 dollars
a year, the city will still be on the hook for some of the MNR's fire fighting
costs.
