The city has signed a new collective agreement, hiring more people
Port Colborne fire department is welcoming some new additions.
The city recently signed a new collective agreement with the fire fighter's union, for a 3-year term.
That means two new full-time fire fighters will join the team, as well as a new training officer, and this staffing will allow for better training of full-time and volunteer fire fighters.
But there's more, the agreement includes modest benefit improvements, changes to pay differential and the probationary period for new hires, a permanent adoption of the 24-hour shift schedule, and increase in life insurance.
Port Colborne Fire Chief Stan Double says he's very pleased with this agreement.
