In the community
Serving in and caring for our community is our number one priority, and we take pride in the work we do for our residents and businesses.
Whether it’s teaching fire safety to children, helping our seniors plan and practice evacuation in an emergency, or demonstrating the tools and techniques we use daily to help keep everyone safe, we are always looking for opportunities to connect with people.
We offered a number of events aimed at increasing public awareness and safety throughout 2019.
Community Events and Outreach
We are always looking for opportunities to bring members of the public together to learn about fire safety, get to know our firefighters, and just have some fun.
In 2019, we held 172 events, engaging with over 10,000 people.
Giving Back
Our firefighters contribute hundreds of volunteer hours annually through the DNV Firefighters Charitable Society and in 2019 raised $204,000.
These funds benefit important causes such as youth mental health, high school scholarships, and the BCPFF Burn Fund.
