Vancouver Fire Rescue Services

Edit

Area Served[]

Vancouver Fire Rescue Services (VFRS) provides fire protection and emergency medical services for the City of Vancouver, a major coastal and seaport city located in the Lower Mainland region of the Canadian Province of British Columbia. The VFRS also provides contracted service to the University Endowment Lands and Musqueam First Nation. The city is named after Captain George Vancouver (June 22, 1757 – May 10, 1798), a British Royal Navy officer best known for his 1791–1795 expedition, which explored and charted North America's northwestern Pacific Coast regions. Incorporated as a city on April 6, 1886, Vancouver has a population of approximately 662,248, and encompasses an area covering 115.18 kilometres2 (44.47 square miles). Vancouver is bordered by Burrard Inlet to the north with the City and District of North Vancouver on the opposite bank, the City of Burnaby to the east, the Fraser River to the south with the City of Richmond on the opposite bank, and the Strait of Georgia to the west, and is shielded from the Pacific Ocean by Vancouver Island.

History[]

Vancouver Fire Rescue Services logo

Vancouver's first fire brigade was formed on May 28, 1886 as a group of volunteers with no official equipment. Within a couple of weeks a fire would completely level the city within a span of 45 minutes. By 1893, the Vancouver Fire Department became a fully paid department with 30 men working out of 3 fire halls. In 1917, VFD became fully motorized and 12 years later, in 1929, South Vancouver and Point Grey amalgamated with the City of Vancouver, increasing its fire halls by 6 and its force by 100 men. In 1995 the VFD took over the University Endowment Lands Fire Department through Provincial order. The VFD continues to serve the City of Vancouver and eventually changed its name to Vancouver Fire Rescue Services.

Future Plans[]

  • Fire Hall 9 is the next hall scheduled for replacement on its existing site. It will be expanded to include offices for all Administration staff currently located at Fire Hall 1.
  • Vancouver residents approved a plan to replace Fire Hall 8 (Yaletown/Downtown South) in the city's October 2022 Capital Plan referendum. The new location will be 990 Beatty Street at Nelson. The proposed design will include a 28-storey social housing tower.
  • The City has purchased a strip mall on the northeast corner of Main Street & East 41st Avenue for the site of the future Fire Hall 23.
