Union voices concerns over outsourcing dispatch

Mar. 17, 2017, Vernon, B.C. - The idea of outsourcing fire dispatch services is drawing strong criticism from the Vernon Professional Firefighters Association. The City of Vernon announced  in a press release it is issuing a request for proposals for alternative dispatch services to “determine if an alternative delivery model could reduce costs and provide a more robust service.” The city points out that communities such as Cranbrook, Fort St. John, Penticton and Salmon Arm have all contracted out dispatch services.
