About us
The Moyie Volunteer Fire Department is a dedicated group of passionate volunteers committed to the safety and well-being of our community and established to provide essential fire protection and first responder medical assistance to the Moyie Lake Valley of British Columbia.
The department serves the Moyie townsite, Midway, Aldridge, Westside, Moyie Shores, Aurora, Green Bay, Monroe Lake and lower Hidden Valley.
Our service area covers approximately 60 square kilometers and includes more than 450 dwellings, several businesses, and over 150 seasonal recreational trailer sites.
Our team consists of trained volunteers who continuously hone their skills through on-going training and community engagement.
Through our various programs and services, we aim to build a safer and more resilient Moyie Lake area.
We invite you to learn more about our team, our mission, and how you can get involved, whether as an active or an auxiliary volunteer.
Funding
The Moyie Volunteer Fire Department operates as a non-profit society. Our day-to-day operational costs are not currently funded by the RDEK or other government agencies.
Funding for insurance and other operating costs therefore comes from our annual fundraiser as well as both private and corporate donations.
Donations can be made by e-transfer to: MoyieER@gmail.com and should be marked donation to Moyie Volunteer Fire Department.
Equipment
The department currently operates a 1400 gallon water tender with integral high pressure pump as well as a fast response bush truck.
In addition, we maintain a wildfire protection trailer which is well-equipped with fire pumps, hoses, sprinklers, chainsaws and other equipment that allows us to quickly attack wildland interface fires.
