The by-law prohibited open air burning within the Municipality with a few specific exceptions. Originally the procedure for investigating burning complaints required the Fire Captain on site to issue an initial Order for first time offenders. Only in the case of a repeat offender would the Municipal Law Enforcement Division become involved. This procedure has become overly complicated over the years with the duplication of records between Emergency and Fire Services and the Municipal Law Enforcement Division. Staff has discussed this problem and both Departments agree that it would be more efficient to centralize the enforcement in one area. The Municipality's three Fire Prevention Officers are empowered under the Fire Protection and Prevention Act to enforce the provisions of the Fire Code, as are the Director, Michael Creighton and the two managers Gord Weir and Bill Hesson. By moving the enforcement of the by-law to the Emergency Services, there will be a time saving through one central dispatch as well as the reduction of witnesses necessary for court, in the event that charges are laid. The inclusion of the Director and two managers will ensure sufficient officers are available to respond to any calls for service. Staff has agreed that once appointed there will be an in-house training session with these people to familiarize them with the actual enforcement provisions of the By-law.
