The Centre Hastings Fire Department is proud to announce its successful achievement of the Superior Tanker Shuttle Accreditation. This accreditation is a significant milestone for the department and brings tangible benefits to the residents of Centre Hastings.

The Superior Tanker Shuttle Accreditation ensures that the fire department can provide an uninterrupted water supply during fire emergencies, even in areas not serviced by hydrants. This process demonstrates the department’s ability to deliver water to rural locations in a timely and efficient manner, equivalent to having a fire hydrant on-site.

With this accreditation, residents of Centre Hastings can potentially benefit from reduced insurance premiums, as it assures insurance providers that the community has enhanced fire protection services. Achieving this status highlights the dedication and hard work of the entire fire department team, reinforcing its commitment to the safety and protection of the community.

Centre Hastings Fire Department continues to strive for excellence, ensuring the highest standards in fire protection for all its residents.
