Prevention, Emergency Response, and the Comox Fire Training Centre
Comox Fire Rescue provides a variety of preventive and emergency services to a population of over 18,000 in an area of 16 square miles. This includes the Town of Comox, the Comox Fire Protection Improvement District, the Bates Huband Local Service Area (Regional District of Comox-Strathcona), and the Comox Indian Band. They also operate the Comox Fire Training Centre, which trains firefighters from all over Vancouver Island, and even parts of BC and the rest of Canada. The training centre is certified by the JIBC.
Comox Fire Rescue has recently added a brand new 1000 gallon water tanker to its fleet, as well as a larger Structural Protection Unit (SPU) trailer. The water tanker is built on a heavy-duty aluminium frame and both units can be towed by either of our duty pickup trucks.
