Naval Station Argentia Fire Department

History
Naval Station Argentia was a United States Navy base located near what is now the Town of Placentia, Newfoundland. Opened in 1941 as part of the Destroyers for Bases agreement between the United States and United Kingdom, Naval Station Argentia served as a naval air base and anchorage during the Second World War. During the Cold War, it was maintained as a naval facility. Operations started to wind down in 1975 when the air base was closed, and the facility was closed completely in 1994.

Trucks from the base fire department were transferred to the Placentia Fire Department when the base closed.
