📝 SCENE WATCH MEDIA STANDS WITH COLLINGWOOD FIRE
I want the members of the Collingwood Fire Department to know one thing clearly: I have your back.
When I say I’m going to do something, and when I say I want to stand with you, I mean it. Supporting our first responders means more than saying thank you, sometimes it means being willing to speak up for them.
And when it comes to public safety, tomorrow is too late. We need action today.
That’s why today I formally sent a letter to the Town of Collingwood and Council requesting a review of 24/7 on-duty fire suppression staffing and whether current staffing has kept pace with Collingwood’s growth and emergency demands.
As a Collingwood resident and through Scene Watch Media, I believe part of supporting our first responders means asking these questions and bringing attention to the resources available to the people we depend on when we call 911.
This is not criticism of our Fire Department or its members. This is about supporting them.
Our firefighters show up when our community needs them. They enter situations most of us are running away from. They deserve to know their community is willing to stand behind them.
I am also publicly asking the Town of Collingwood and Council to respond publicly to the concerns and questions I have raised.
If the current staffing model is sufficient, show residents the evidence.
If more staffing is needed, let’s acknowledge it and develop a plan to address it.
This isn’t about politics. It’s about public safety, transparency and supporting the people who answer our 911 calls.
Scene Watch Media will continue bringing attention to this issue and advocating respectfully for our first responders and our community.
