Vernon is going to have to invest new money into its fire dispatch system now that it has gone it's own way from the North Okanagan Regional District. Emergency program manager Brent Watson says the current equipment has reached, and in some cases, exceeded its serviceable use. He says the status quo is not an option as the equipment is a public and life safety issue. He's recommending 209-thousand dollars be spent for an enhanced system, which would also include 62-thousand in ongoing costs.
