Throughout the Comox Valley, fire protection services are provided through various responding fire departments. These fire services may be provided directly by the community’s own fire department, or indirectly through a service agreement with a neighbouring municipality. Certain rural areas of the Comox Valley do not have fire protection services.
Fire Services Administration
The local governments within the greater Comox Valley work cooperatively to provide efficient and responsive fire protection to residents and visitors. Learn more about Fire Services Administration.
Burning Regulations
Burning regulations may be different depending on your location. In areas that have a fire regulation bylaw, the Fire Chief manages restrictions on burning based on the current local conditions and the resources that are available to fight fire.
In areas that do not have a fire regulation bylaw, the Provincial regulations apply and are managed by the Province.
