  This Fee Structure is a guideline to facilitate fees and charges for our Mutual Aid Partners and recognition under our Mutual Aid Agreements. Bylaw 2017-003 states in Section 16.2 “The fees and costs to be charged by the County for fire protection and emergency response services rendered are contained in the Fees and Services Bylaw.”

  Billing time for emergency services will commence with the initial call for a response and cease when the unit(s) that attended are put back into service.

  The Chief Administrative Officer retains the right to review all emergency events and where extraordinary circumstances exist may adjust invoicing procedures other than the dollar amount listed herein.
