Welcome

 

Welcome to our web site!                                            

We are a small volunteer department in beautiful Southwestern New Brunswick. We have one paid staff (Fire Chief) and approximately 24 paid-on-call personnel. We operate out of one Station with a fleet of two main pumpers, one pumper-tanker, one mini-pumper/rescue truck, a utility truck for hauling portable pumping equipment, a 14' Zodiac for lake and coastal rescue, and a Yahama ATV and an Argo for remote rescue and wildland firefighting. A new pumper is on order from Carl Thibault Fire Trucks and is scheduled to arrive near the end of August 2010 to replace the oldest of our fleet.

Fire supression, fire prevention and fire investigation are priorities of the Department, but our services are not limited to just those. Wildland firefighting, coastal & lake water rescue and high angle rescue are some other services we offer, along with support, when requested, from the RCMP, Ambulance New Brunswick and Charlotte County Ground Search & Rescue.

The Department's personnel is well trained, all having to complete the Level I Firefighter course as a requesite for full service. The Department also offers auto extrication services for motor vehicle collisions and has a brand new (2008) set of Hurst Jaws of Life purchased through Code 4 Fire & Rescue.   

If you have questions or concerns regarding any aspect of fire safety, or would like someone to conduct a presentation to your group or industry, please contact the Fire Station during regular business hours and we would be more than happy to assist whatever it is you are looking for.  

REMEMBER....working smoke alarms save lives and are the best defence in the event of a fire in your home.

      

We will try to keep you informed of any Department news and upcoming events so please check back often.
