Kennebecasis Valley Fire Department
The Kennebecasis Valley Fire Department is a regional service, providing
fire, rescue, first responder medical, and other associated needs to
the residents of the Towns of Quispamsis, Rothesay and portions of
three local service districts. In total, the Kennebecasis Valley Fire
Department provides this coverage for a population of over 30,000
people within a response area of 112 square kilometers.
The Department receives direction from a Board of Commissioners
representing the two Towns. In addition to the primary areas of responsibility,
the KVFD is an active member of the Royal Firefighters Association
Zone Two Mutual Aid group which provides assistance to eight other Fire
Departments in their respective areas upon request. This is an important
function as we reciprocate the mutual aid available from those other
Departments in our times of need.
Established in 1924 as Rothesay’s Volunteer Fire Department, the
department has grown (through many name changes) to reflect the
enormous growth in the Valley. Today the KVFD is a composite
organization comprised of a Fire Chief, Deputy Chief, Assistant Deputy
Chief, Twenty Nine Career staff, Six Casual (holiday relief), and Fifteen
Volunteer FireFighters. Housed in Two Fire Stations, are Two Engines,
One Quint (ladder/pump), Four Tankers, a Boston Whaler Rescue Boat,
an All Terrain Vehicle, a Technical Rescue Trailer, a Rehab/Command
Trailer and Tow Vehicle, a Forestry Unit, and four service vehicles. The
KVFD responds to over 1000 incidents annually, and our members are
continuously training in order to maintain and enhance their proficiencies
in the various tasks we are requested to perform.
Here are some tips for keeping your family safe:
• Install smoke detectors on every level of your home (basement
included) and test them monthly, and change batteries when you
change your clocks.
• Have your chimney and/your home heating system inspected and
cleaned annually.
• If burning wood, oil or propane, install a Carbon Monoxide Detector
in your home.
• Exercise caution when using candles, never leave them unattended.
• When it is necessary to use an extension cord, make sure it is in
good condition, and do not place it in high traffic areas or
underneath carpets. Remember the use of extension cords is only
meant to be temporary.
• Do not leave cooking unattended, keep your stovetop clean, turn pot
handles toward the rear of the stove.
• Conduct a Family meeting and make an escape plan, and choose a
meeting place outside the home.
• Always sleep with the bedroom doors closed, this will keep deadly
heat and smoke out of the bedrooms, giving you additional time to
escape.
• In a fire, time is critical, don’t waste time searching for pets or
valuables, just get out.
• Roll out of bed, stay low, one breath of smoke or gases may be
enough to kill.
