In addition, a capital asset may be slated for completion in mid-year and require an operating budget provision to pay for utility costs, staffing, and other operating costs.

FIRE DEPARTMENT SERVICE

The Perth East volunteer firefighters are a dedicated group of men and women who risk their lives to save your life, the lives of your family, your home and your livelihood. These brave people train hard to master the skills and gain the knowledge to: • battle fires • handle tragic events such as car accidents and public hazards • provide a program for the safety of our community • and so much more The fire department provides public education, prevention and emergency response services to a portion of the Township of Perth South. Through a shared services agreement, with the Municipality of West Perth, we operate the fire administration, prevention and public education areas of the West Perth Fire Department.

PERTH EAST FIRE DEPARTMENT SMOKE ALARMS

Every home in Ontario must have a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside all sleeping areas.

Homeowners - It is the responsibility of homeowners to install and maintain smoke alarms on every storey of their home and outside sleeping areas.

Landlords - It is the responsibility of landlords to ensure their rental properties comply with the law.

Tenants - If you are a tenant of a rental property and do not have the required number of smoke alarms, contact your landlord immediately. It is against the law for tenants to remove the batteries or tamper with the alarm in any way.

Home Escape Plans - Do you and your family know what to do and where to go when the smoke alarm sounds? Create and practice a home escape plan. Have two ways out of each room and choose a meeting place outside the home.

Only working smoke alarms save lives.

WORKING CO ALARMS - IT’S THE LAW!

Ontario law requires mandatory Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms in homes that have fuel fired appliances or attached garages.

CO alarms must be installed outside all sleeping areas. If you cannot hear the alarm when it is sounding you will not get the necessary early detection when CO is present. Experts are also recommending one alarm for every level of the home.

Already have a CO alarm? Take a few minutes to check the date of manufacture / installation...Homes with CO alarms that are past their optimal life span may also put occupants at risk. What is sometimes misunderstood by many homeowners, is that CO alarms, like smoke alarms, do not last forever whether they are battery powered or hardwired.

Some symptoms of CO poisoning: • Headache, nausea, burning eyes, fainting, confusion, drowsiness.

• Often mistaken for common ailments like the flu • Symptoms improve when away from the home for a period of time • Symptoms experienced by more than one member of the household.

• Continued exposure to higher levels may result in unconsciousness, brain damage & death.

• The elderly, children and people with heart or respiratory conditions may be particularly sensitive to carbon monoxide. www.pertheast.ca | page 24

PERTH EAST FIRE DEPARTMENT HELP BUILD A FARM FIRE SAFE COMMUNITY #FFSC

The FFSC program was created to address the growing concern regarding farm-related fires.

Barn/shed, agricultural vehicle and other farm-related fires have led to staggering losses (over $12 million between 2010-2015 in Perth East alone). Fires have destroyed buildings, livestock, vehicles, equipment and often cripple the livelihood of farming families. In Ontario alone, OMAFRA reports farm structure losses of $25 million-$60 million each year (this does not include contents such as equipment and livestock).

The FFSC program is founded on education, awareness and farm fire safety planning within the Perth East and West Perth fire areas. The program was made possible by our Partners in Farm Fire Safety; Tradition Mutual Insurance Company, Heartland Farm Mutual Inc., South Easthope Mutual Insurance Company, and Perth-Huron Insurance Brokers Association. It is also supported by the Perth County Farm Safety Association.

For farm fire safety information or to learn how to get a free fire safety plan for your farm property, call us at 519-595-2800 or visit us at www.pertheast.ca/ffsc.

OPEN-AIR BURNING

During the warmer seasons, we get a lot of calls for burn permits. While it’s great that residents are notifying staff of their intent to have open-air fires, some residents still burn without confirming they have permission to do so.

Leaving a message with this information does not give you permission to burn. You must obtain approval directly with staff. All staff at the Municipal Office can address your request, so speak to reception staff; they can help you.

There are rules with regard to having a controlled burn: • Stay with the controlled burn at all times and ensure the fire is fully extinguished at dark.

• Burn only clean materials (wood, brush, etc.) - do not burn household garbage, rubber or plastics.

• Your fire should not be a nuisance to neighbours in terms of smoke or noise, so be mindful of wind strength & direction • Consult the by-law for full rules and regulations To obtain a burn permit, please call 519-595-2800 during regular municipal office hours. The Open-Air Controlled Burn By-law is available for you to view on the Perth East website. www.pertheast.ca | page 25

The Township of Perth East is proud of the many high quality parks and recreation services within our community. To ensure that these continue to meet your needs, we are preparing a Parks and Recreation Services Master Plan that will guide the provision of programs and facilities into the future.

Hearing from our residents is very important to us! The feedback that we collect from the public, community organizations, facility users, and other partners will create a strong foundation for future planning. You are invited to help us create a vision and strategy to ensure that we continue to meet your needs over the years to come.

To kick-off the master plan, a Public Input Session will be held on Thursday May 18, 2017 at the Perth East Recreation Centre (40 Temperance Street in Milverton). Please drop-in anytime between 7 pm and 9 pm to provide your input. Public surveys and stakeholder sessions will also be made available this Spring, with project completion expected for later in 2017.

To learn more about the project and how to get involved, please visit our website www.pertheast.ca or contact Becky Westman (Manager, Perth East Recreation Complex) at 519-595-8375 or masterplan@pertheast.ca.
