Fire Protection
The Cariboo Regional District has mutual aid agreements with fire departments, municipalities and several First Nations in our region. The agreements allow equipment and manpower from any of the departments to assist neighbouring services in the event of large fires or multiple incidents happening at the same time.
For further information regarding fire protection services, contact the Manager of Protective Services.
Upcoming Fire Truck Replacements
