The fire departments of Ferryland and Witless Bay have inked a mutual aid agreement.
Councillor Jacob Hayden of Witless Bay last week called the agreement beneficial to both towns, and to the communities serviced by the towns.
Under the agreement, fire chiefs must ensure that their respective town is fully protected before assisting the other town.
The Ferryland volunteers service Aquaforte, Fermeuse, and Renews - Cappahayden while Witless Bay services Bay Bulls, Tors Cove, Bauline, Mobile, and Burnt Cove-St Michaels-Bauline East.
Combined, the departments boast roughly 50 volunteer members.
