WOOLWICH COUNCIL BRIEFS

Yesterday's Elmira Independent carrys the headline "Remote activation of siren receives approval". Apparently last fall's release of BLE-25 from Chemtura took only five minutes to travel across Elmira. As it also takes five minutes for the fire chief to get to the local fire hall to activate the town siren it was felt that a remote activation would speed the process substantially and perhaps save lives. This activation will be done via the Kitchener dispatch.
