The Townships of Centre Wellington and Puslinch will be sharing the same fire chief.
An agreement between the two municipalities was reached that would see Centre Wellington Fire Chief Tom Mulvey also oversee the Puslinch Fire and Rescue Services.
It is a one-and-a-half year pilot project with the potential to extend it for another three years.
“This is an exciting partnership between two Wellington County municipalities,” said Centre Wellington Mayor Kelly Linton in a news release.
