Kelowna may handle RDCK 911 fire dispatch

The Regional District of Central Kootenay is thinking about switching its 911 dispatch to the Kelowna fire department.

The current contract with the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary costs $345,000 a year.

But RDCK chief administrator Stuart Horn says the Kelowna option would see a 50 per cent savings.

Horn says technology has advanced to the point where local geographic knowledge isn’t as critical.

No decision has been made yet but the current five-year contract expires in October.
