Big Tancook Island forms its own fire department

Residents of Big Tancook Island have banded together and are forming their own fire department.

Mayor Don Downe says Lunenburg council has agreed to register the Big Tancook Island Emergency Response Association as a fire and emergency service provider under the Municipal Government Act.

Downe says there was a concern over the issue of insurance because of residents using their own vehicles to move equipment around but the matter has now been resolved.
