The Fort Frances Professional Fire Fighters Association is responding to an Arbitration Award that gives its members a new four year deal.
The agreement, retroactive to 2009, includes wage increases totalling 16 per cent plus recognition pay based on years of service.
In a brief one-paragraph statement, the Association says the award is "a direct reflection of the industry norm," and similar to that received by other departments of similar size.
CAO Mark McCaig said Monday the cost of the deal is forcing the town to conduct a review of its Fire Department for potential savings.
