Tanker Shuttle Accreditation

The County of Brant Fire Department is Tanker Shuttle Accredited (PDF).

This means that we can provide hydrant protected insurance gradings, even in areas of the county that are not protected with hydrants. Our fire service can pump a minimum of 900 L/min within five minutes of first pump when we arrive. We can maintain that water flow for a period of two hours.

With this classification, our residents and commercial property owners should be eligible (depending on insurance companies) for rate reductions in the fire portion of their insurance.

Fire Stations

The Fire department runs eight stations across the County. Stations are equipped with a variety of resources including pumpers, tankers, support vehicles and rescue boats.
