Town Council received a delegation from the FRESS Sedgewick Fire Department Fire chief for the exploration of a New Fire Hall Development in the Town of Sedgewick. The council deliberated the request and moved to fund the first step of Engineering Drawings for the department to obtain the necessary construction cost of the project. The council expressed a very favorable position on the project and is looking forward to future development in 2028.

The Town of Sedgewick honoured staff and volunteer firefighters with long-service awards last week.  Plaques commemorating between 5 and 25 years of service were handed out by Sedgewick Mayor, Perry Robinson at the Town’s annual year-end Christmas party.

False alarms have begun to increase in frequency in the Town of Sedgewick and are becoming a problem for our Fire Department.  False alarms cost the municipality money and put additional stress on our volunteer firefighting crew.

Please note that the Town of Sedgewick has the authority to charge residents and businesses in the event of a false alarm.  Town Council will be reviewing the amount charged at their December Regular Council Meeting when they will approve the Fees and Charges Bylaw for 2018.  Residents and business owners should expect to be charged in the new year in the event of a call-out being a false alarm.

Please take effort to work with your alarm monitoring company to prevent instances of false alarms.
