Editor's note: This letter was sent out this morning from Jason Whiteley, Fire Chief and Mike Gillies, President, NBPFFA.
On behalf of North Bay Fire and Emergency Services and the North Bay Professional Fire Fighters, we would like to thank all the citizens and businesses of North Bay for their generosity and moral support as we fought a stubborn fire under challenging conditions last week. The coffee, donuts, and other treats that were dropped off at the fire scene were greatly appreciated. Thank you!
While we were given accolades for the work we did, an incredible team was formed around us. We must also acknowledge and thank several other agencies for their hard work and support as well; the North Bay Police, the North Bay Paramedic services, North Bay Hydro, Enbridge Gas, Red Cross, as well as several City departments including Transit, Public Works, Building and our fleet mechanics especially fire mechanic Billy Reed.
To all of these other agencies involved in battling a blaze of this magnitude, thank you from North Bay Fire and Emergency Services and the North Bay Professional Fire Fighters!
We are quite fortunate and proud to live in and serve this fantastic community. We wish everyone a very happy, and of course a fire-safe holiday season!
Sincerely,
Jason Whiteley Mike Gillies
Fire Chief/CEMC President, NBPFFA
