Consultation has concluded and the Fire Master Plan has been approved.
The Municipality of Port Hope has engaged The Loomex Group to conduct a Community Risk Assessment and Fire Master Plan for the community. Master Plans are comprehensive long-range municipal planning documents that act as a guide for how future growth and development of a community will occur through investment over time. Master Plans often begin with an assessment of current conditions and consider strategies for gradual improvement over time. Public consultation is an important part of the process.
Background
The Fire Master Plan will help us identify areas to manage risk, as well as, the overall operations of the department. This includes:
Locations of the Fire Stations
The vehicle and equipment that the department maintains
The level of service approved by Council
The Fire Master Plan will be presented to Council in April.
Community Risk Assessment
The community risk assessment is part of fulfilling the municipalities legislative requirement. This has been completed and will be presented to Council in February. This assessment looked at the community from a risk perspective as it related to fire services.
Community Consultation
As part of the Fire Master Plan process the community is asked to complete a short survey on its interaction with the Fire Department and the services it believes it should provide for the community. The survey closed on Friday, February 18 at 4:00 p.m. Stay tuned for survey results as part of the Fire Master Plan.
Final Fire Master Plan
At the July 5, 2022 Council Meeting, Council approved the new Fire Master Plan.

The Loomex Group has been contracted by the Municipality of Port Hope to conduct a review of the Municipality's emergency services and to assist Port Hope Fire and Emergency Services with developing a progressive and inclusive Fire Master Plan.
As part of this project’s development process, The Loomex Group would like to provide residents with an opportunity to voice any concerns or suggestions they may have regarding the emergency and fire services currently being provided in their community. The Loomex Group believes that engagement residents will offer an invaluable source of information that will assist with ensuring the needs of the community are met both today and in the future.
The results will be thoroughly reviewed and considered as The Loomex Group drafts the Fire Master Plan for the Municipality of Port Hope.
