New Station 2 Location
Station 2 will be located at 1002 Uffington Road, a 23-acre site owned by the Town of Bracebridge that will provide:
- Increased safety of the Department’s firefighters by allowing the Department to dispatch more firefighters to certain areas of Bracebridge and provide a stronger effective response force;
- Increase levels of service provided to the south-east area, high-risk occupancies, and the greater Bracebridge area;
- Provide a better water supply for areas of Bracebridge that do not have hydrants;
- Improve the Department’s ability to obtain its Superior Tanker Shuttle Accreditation, which can result in insurance savings to residents;
- Improve the health and safety of firefighters and facility accessibility compliance; and
- A higher staff complement of volunteer firefighters as a result of being located in a more densely populated area.
The design and construction of Station 2 will be included in the 2025 and 2026 Municipal Budget and Business Plans.
