We want to hear from you!
As we develop a 10-year, community-driven master plan, we want to know how we can improve and enhance our services to you. Please share your views, thoughts and opinions with us in a survey. This information will be important to help shape the Fire master plan.

Tanker Shuttle Accreditation
The County of Brant Fire Department is tanker shuttle accredited. (Tanker-Shuttle-Accreditation.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 900L/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.
