Approximate response time will be in the area of 6 to 8 minutes . Since this site is not serviced by municipal water, it must be treated as a rural response and therefore water for firefighting purposes must be supplied by Fire Department tanker trucks. It should be noted that Regional water runs on the north side of Highway #2 in this area and access to this should be considered. If there is not a fire hydrant in the immediate area, then consideration should be given to the applicant providing a reservoir in the area of the subdivision to supply water for firefighting purposes. 7 .3 Comments are still outstanding from the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Transportation. 8.
