Bridgewater Fire Department -- Fire Service Review Survey

The Town of Bridgewater and the Bridgewater Fire Department are excited to launch a new community survey in which we're inviting you to share your feedback and opinion of the Bridgewater Fire Department.

The Bridgewater Fire Department (BFD) was established in 1876. With approximately 50 volunteers, BFD provides emergency services for fire, motor vehicle collisions, ice and water rescues, and many other fire-protection services.

Yearly, BFD responds to over 300 emergency calls in our community, while also providing assistance as requested by neighbouring departments.

The Town of Bridgewater and BFD are engaging in a Fire Service Review to examine key areas of the fire services provided to the residents and businesses of the Town of Bridgewater, and provide an in-depth analysis of these areas.

The Fire Service Review will ultimately provide an overall vision, direction, and guidance for Town Council to make decisions about service improvements and enhancements through fire hall facilities, fleet configuration, and any other elements that affect the delivery of fire services - all with an eye toward matching the growing needs of the community.

To accomplish this, Emergency Management Group Inc. (EMG) has been engaged to assist us with this initiative. EMG is a consulting firm that has worked with many fire departments in developing their fire master plans, station assessments, and fire service reviews.

To successfully gather community feedback, we need your assistance and invite you to complete the survey that can be found at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/M9V5ZJL.

Your confidential responses will help to ensure focused action and informed decision making that continues to meet the diverse needs of all residents.
