Fire Chief Shawn Leamon says fire protection will be lost if the current crisis on the Regional Fire Committee is not resolved.
The Steady Brook-Little Rapids Regional Fire Service is in danger and they need people to volunteer. In a social media statement, Fire Chief Shawn Leamon says fire protection will be lost if the current crisis on the Regional Fire Committee is not resolved. There is a 7 member oversight Committee that has been in place since 2011 to direct the operations of the firefighters. This Committee is made up of volunteers from Steady Brook, Little Rapids and Humber Village. A Memorandum of Agreement has been in place since the signing in 2011. There has to be at least seven members but Leamon says there are only 2 remaining volunteers on this committee, both from Little Rapids. No representation from Steady Brook or Humber Village. Leamon says the board is non functional and non operational, which leaves the fire department at risk of ceasing operations due to lack of oversight and direction from the regional fire committee. Volunteers are needed immediately to fill the vacant seats on this committee. Contact the Town Clerk in Steady Brook for more information.
