UPDATE October 30, 2026: Fire Hall #1 staff have now returned to Fire Hall #1. For more information, read the media advisory at www.campbellriver.ca/news

—

Following recent heavy rain and wind, water entered Fire Hall #1 through an exposed section of the roof that is currently being replaced. A hazardous materials survey was completed to identify potential hazards before the removal of water-damaged materials could take place. The survey identified asbestos-containing materials.

As a precaution, staff are temporarily relocating from Fire Hall #1. The Fire Hall #1 on-duty fire crew will be based at the City of Campbell River’s Enterprise Resource Centre, next to City Hall, until further notice, while dispatch staff will operate from the North Island 9-1-1 backup centre.

🚒 Emergency services continue as usual, with no impacts to fire suppression or 9-1-1 dispatch expected.

👉 In an emergency, call 9-1-1. For other, non-emergency, fire department inquiries, contact [email protected], call 250-286-6266 or visit City Hall.

Media inquiries can be directed to [email protected] or 250-286-5744.

🌐 The health and safety of City staff and the public is the City’s top priority. Additional updates will be provided on the City website and social media channels. Visit campbellriver.ca/subscribe to sign up for news alerts.

Halloween is over — but the fun is just getting started.

Bring your jack-o-lanterns down to the Sportsplex and watch our crew send them to the great pumpkin patch in the sky from the top of our 101-foot tower truck. It’s messy, it’s loud, and it is absolutely worth it. 🚒

🕙 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
📍 Sportsplex — 1800 South Alder Street, Campbell River
💛 Pumpkin drop-off by donation

⚠️ Please make sure your pumpkins are free of candles and any other inorganic material before dropping them off.

Come for the smash, stay for the spectacle — and bring the whole family. See you there! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🎃

This morning, four of our Local 1668 crew headed over to Cedar Elementary School for their Pancake Breakfast — and they brought something extra with them.

Proud to share that IAFF Local 1668 made a $500 donation to support this event, because putting our money where our heart is matters just as much as showing up. And show up they did.

Wearing their orange shirts alongside students, staff, and families Capt Stewart Dumont, FF Jared MacNeil, Probie FF Tyson Dumont, and Dispatcher Mackenzie Dumont were proud to stand in recognition of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Because showing up for our community means showing up for all of our community — in every way that matters.

To the students and staff at Cedar Elementary — thank you for welcoming our crew and for the reminder that the most important lessons aren't always in the classroom. 🏫❤️

Every child matters. Every person matters. Every community matters. 🧡

🚒❤️ A CAMPBELL RIVER FIRST ❤️🚒

For the first time in Campbell River Fire Department history, a father and son are sharing a shift together (25/09/26) — and if that wasn't special enough, their daughter and sister was working dispatch that very same day. 🎙️

There's something about the fire service that gets into your blood. It gets passed down at the dinner table, in the driveway washing the truck, and in the quiet moments where a kid watches their parent head out the door to serve this community. Today, that pride didn't just come full circle — it filled the whole building.

To Capt. Stewart Dumont, Tyson and Mackenzie— thank you for reminding us why this job means so much. You make Local 1668 proud. 👨‍👧‍👦🔥

This is what family looks like. This is what community looks like.
