Residents in Witless Bay may soon be penalized financially for calling the fire department over false alarms.
During the October 11 meeting, councillor Ralph Carey gave a notice of motion to amend the town policy to include a policy on fire service charges for responding to false alarms.
“This policy, with a detailed process, will be introduced in November’s meeting for council’s adoption,” said Carey.
There was no discussion on the matter, and as it was just a notice of motion, no vote was cast.
Council is scheduled to next meet on November 8.
