Many LRNA members and local residents have homes or cottages in areas where emergency fire/rescue response is made difficult by the terrain and location. Access via the lake can be much quicker in those instances.
In 2015/16, the LRNA worked with Township officials, including the Fire Chief, to formalize a plan to secure and refurbish a fireboat.
Through effective partnership and a successful fund-raising campaign the LRNA was able to raise enough funds to make the fireboat plan become a reality.
The fireboat is now kept at the Rosseau Waterfront during navigable months ready to provide improved safety and security for all North Rosseau lakefront residents.
