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.
