On agenda there is a resolution as to whether King supports a study on the creation of a regional fire service for York Region.  To my mind there is no data to suggest that King residents and businesses would be better served with a regional fire service.  Years ago King was very smart and consolidated the operations of what was once 3 independent fire services in each of the villages.  We are well served with our very professional volunteer fire service as confirmed but outside auditors.   Protection of assets close to the perimeter of the Township is enhanced with agreements with neighbouring municipalities.  To my mind the only certainty of the outcome of such a structure would be higher costs for King.
