De Haan reaches agreement on fire service costs

The municipality of De Haan has reached an agreement with Hulpverleningszone 1 to reduce its financial contributions through 2031. The deal is expected to save the municipality approximately 980,340 euros over that period.

Under the new terms, De Haan will pay 3 percent of the zone's costs starting this year, a reduction from the 3.2 percent share it had paid since 2015. The agreement also includes provisions for the zone to cover the full rent of the fire station and additional funding for the ambulance service and building investments.

Despite previous discussions regarding the relocation of the Wenduine fire station, the station in De Haan will remain in its current location. The ambulance service will also continue to operate from the center of De Haan.
