Council to discuss new drone for fire department, flooding study

Sep 11, 2023 | 10:50 AM

North Battleford’s Fire Department is looking to purchase a drone to help with emergency situations.

That’s one of the discussions the city’s council is set to have when they meet on Monday.

The cost is expected to be over $18,000 with the Fire Department planning to use funding they received in the 2023 budget.

Also, up for discussion is a roughly $80,000 flood study in the Parsons Industrial Park.

Earlier this spring, the city hired a company to clear and regrade two drainage ditches and clear the area around two catch basins, however, flooding was still an issue in some parts of the area.
