If approved by council, Curry said the work will be completed during the normal maintenance of the hydrants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said fire chiefs in each area municipality would be notified of the changes along with the timing expected for full implementation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Committee approved the initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a fire happens every second counts, particularly as local fire services arrive on scene and look to set up a water supply and plan the appropriate response, Michael Currie, [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":136595,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[121,3488,3489],"class_list":["post-136591","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-district-of-muskoka","tag-fire-hydrants","tag-tagging-fire-hydrants"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
