FIRE DANGER
Welcome to the Barriere Fire Department
The Barriere Fire Department is serviced by a group of dedicated volunteers trained in structural and wildland fire suppression. We service approximately 2500 residents within the fire department boundary, attending to 60-100 fire calls annually.
Along with fire suppression our volunteers preform residential and commercial fire inspections. We also work closely with British Columbia Ambulance Service, RCMP and Barriere Search and Rescue to prepare and execute emergency plans.
Our fire department works together with the residents of Barriere on community events that support the safety and welfare of the town.
