On behalf of the Selkirk Fire Department I wish to welcome you and hope your tour of our website interests you.
As you navigate our webspace you will learn who we are and what we do.
We invite you to share fire related information with us.
Our Fire Service was formed 114 years ago as the Selkirk Fire Brigade and we are equally proud of our history, our present service and the direction we are pursuing for the future.
We have a compliment of 32 members serving the City on a 24/7 on-call basis.
Our services have broadened over the years from just fire suppression to include almost all types of emergency responses such as:
- Emergency Medical Responders
- Hazardous Materials Response
- Water / Ice Rescue
- Rope / Confined Space Rescue
As well we also are very active in a wide variety of Fire Prevention Programs including Public Education and an Inspection Program.
We are committed to delivering the finest service available to the citizens of our City.
Our organization is proud of our 114 year history and is lucky to have our retirees who have formed an association that remains close to the active members helping us in many ways as well as building and maintaining our museum. There is further historical and retiree information available within the History and Museum Folders located on our Homepage.
