Fire Services

The Fire Services Department assists BC First Nations communities with their Fire Safety needs. Vital services we provide include; public fire & life safety education, school fire & life safety education and fire prevention education.
We also provide fire fighter training, fire department administrative training, and fire department support services to First Nations Fire Services around the province.

The Fire Services Department’s web page is designed to be an information conduit for First Nations communities where they will be able to learn more about our services and the fire services industry in BC. Our goal is also to provide a web site that can will be accessed by all first nations communities and utilized as a fire and life safety resource tool.
