Waterloo Fire Rescue establishes temporary station

As part of its business continuity plan, Waterloo Fire Rescue has established a temporary fire station at the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex (WMRC). 

“This move supports the medical officer of health’s directive to observe physical distancing and is beneficial for the health and safety of our firefighters,” said Chief Richard Hepditch. 

One truck and four crew members have been redeployed from Station 1 to WMRC. Station 1 also remains fully operational. The temporary fire station at WMRC will remain until further notice.
