Warning about scam asking for firefighting equipment

Published: 

Residents in midwestern Ontario are reporting scam calls appearing to come from a local fire department.

The reports are coming from Wiarton and Sauble Beach, indicating calls from the South Bruce Peninsula Fire Department.

The callers are asking for $500 donations for new firefighting equipment.

Fire officials say the calls are fake and they would never ask the community for support that way.
