FIRE SERVICES
Surrey has a total of 15 fire halls and 386 fire fighters, of which over 30 are volunteers.
This strong contingent of volunteers makes Surrey’s Fire Department one of the largest
composite fire departments in Canada. Surrey’s fire fighting equipment includes a wide
variety of emergency vehicles made up of fire trucks, rescue vehicles, hazardous
response vehicles, aerial towers, an aerial platform, and a mobile command post (which
is shared with the RCMP).
The Fire Prevention Division performs building
inspections to ensure compliance to Code and fire scene
investigations for cause determination. The Public
Education Division provides programs on fire prevention
and survival skills to schools, businesses, and
community groups.
