flag Petawawa considers taller buildings but lacks fire truck for high-rises, stalling plans.

flag Petawawa council is weighing whether to allow taller apartment buildings to address a housing shortage, but faces a major obstacle: the town lacks an aerial fire truck needed for high-rise safety. flag While the official plan now permits buildings over four storeys, no local fire station can accommodate such equipment, and past efforts to secure mutual aid from Pembroke have failed. flag A new truck could cost millions, require major storage and maintenance changes, and some councillors question its necessity if tall buildings aren’t built soon. flag Others worry about altering the town’s character. flag The mayor suggested exploring shared resources with the nearby military garrison, but no decision has been made on either new buildings or fire equipment.
