Quality Inn Offers Great Rate for FSANS Members!
I am pleased to announce that I have negotiated a very competitive rate for both professional fire service related travel as well as personal travel for all FSANS members at both Quality Inn properties in HRM. The Quality Inn and Suites Halifax, off Exit 2, off the Kearney Lake Road on Parkland Drive offer FSANS members a rate of $99.00 and the Quality Inn Halifax Airport offer a rate of $109.00. These great rates include a complimentary continental breakfast as well as parking. Please ensure you make your reservation directly with the hotel to ensure you receive the FSANS rate. Don’t forget, if you are leaving Nova Scotia via air the Quality Inn Airport offers up to two weeks complimentary parking with a one night stay at the hotel, and this also includes the shuttle service to the airport upon departure and upon arrival!
This is just another great example of how our corporate community is recognizing and rewarding the efforts of our members! I want to thank Steve and his staff for making this possible and we look forward to a great partnership!

“From the Ashes” - Shining the Light on Queens
Volunteers Firefighters in this Province shy
away from recognition, they do what they do because they are a dedicated, caring group of people, they care deeply about their communities, and that makes all the difference! But every now and again the light gets shone on them, and it’s well deserved. READ MORE....

Maritime Radio Communications System Project Update
I'm writing to inform you that the Maritime Radio Communications System
Project will not be proceeding.
As many of you know, the Provinces of PEI, NB and NS jointly released an RFP
in 2010 for a partner to build, own, operate, and finance a regional public
safety grade mobile radio system.
The plan was that this regional system would eventually replace our current
Trunked Mobile Radio System. However, the Provinces have decided to
withdraw this RFP. We're currently not in a position to discuss details
around the decision, or what comes next, but that will happen in due course.
Rest assured that we continue to have an agreement with our current service
provider, Bell-Mobility, for several more years.
When the dust settles a bit, we'll be bringing together users of the system
to discuss what the long term looks like.
If you have any questions, just let me know and I'll try to answer them as
best I can.

Application form for the Federal Firefighter Medal
Both the Federal and Provincial completed application forms must be submitted to the NS Office of the Fire Marshal, the Federal application form will then be sent onto the Chancellery for the medals. The medals are sent back to the Office of the Fire Marshal for distribution. Allow at least 10 weeks for the federal medal, the provincial one may be issued slightly quicker than that. click here more information...
