HEALTH AND SAFETY SERVICES

FIRE SERVICES Surrey has a total of 15 fire halls with 25 staffed and 10 cross-staffed apparatus strategically placed throughout the City. Apparatus placement is determined by a combination of community fire risk and workloads. Surrey currently employs 440 fire fighters, of which 12 are paid on call volunteers and 146 community engagement volunteers who are committed to serving and providing fire protection, emergency preparedness and other critical educational services to our growing community. 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). Surrey Fire Service utilizes data based research and innovation to pioneer programs that focus on prevention. The Community Risk Reduction (“CRR”) initiatives include the Community Property Safety Team, HomeSafe Program and Surrey Emergency Program. These programs provide valuable resources to citizens and aim to reduce the incidence of injury, loss of life and property damage.
