With the Gravenhurst Ontario Fire College closing next month, the call for fire training centres has been answered across Ontario, including in Wellington County.
Wellington County is now a designated Regional Training Centre to train and provide certifcation needs for firefighters in Centre Wellington, Erin, Mapleton, Minto, Puslinch, Wellington North and Guelph-Eramosa.
While the disbanding of the college is still a bad grab from fire chiefs across the province. The local approach to training centres means trainees will not be losing as much work when they take part in training.
