The Ottawa Fire Department is set to receive four new radios after the Ottawa City Council approved a quote from Nicholson 1 Communications at Tuesday night’s meeting.

The radios will cost $14,600, but will be covered completely by grant proceeds. The radios are refurbished with new parts.

The proposal for new radios and their equipment was set in motion in December.
