On behalf of the Fire Department and the Fire and Rescue Society, we want to express our sincerest gratitude for the incredible number of people who showed up to help with the Saturday bottle drive. Thanks too for the amazing volume of donations from curbside and drop-offs!
Having such a large turnout goes so far to boost our morale and shows what a special neighbourly bond we all share.
Happy to report that we had everything collected, sorted, counted and delivered by early afternoon.
THANK YOU BOWSER and DEEP BAY!
DBF&R we're there when you need us.

Just a reminder that the Deep Bay Fire Rescue Society is holding their bottle drive this Saturday.
Volunteers to help sort would be greatly appreciated even if its only for an hour or two.
The bottle drive runs from 9 am to 2 pm, hot dogs and veggie hot dogs with drinks and yummy desserts are provided.
Come out and meet your local Volunteer Fire Fighters and neighbours.
For those wishing to donate bottles and cans you can drop off at the FireHall around back after 9am Saturday or place at the curb by 9am.

Save the date: Saturday March 28, 2026. 9:00 am - 2:00 pm (ish).
Many hands make light work and a cohesive and supportive community.
If you have a few spare hours or a few days, we could really use some help with the bottle drive. PLEASE come out and donate your time to help or at least your returnable cans and bottles.
There's food and beverages and door prizes and, the best part, your local friends and neighbors making a difference in this wonderful place we all call home.
If you want to help more, like with set up and organizing call Barb Nixon at 250-757-9902.
See you Saturday!!!

Being a member of Deep Bay Fire & Rescue is much more than responding to those in crisis. It's about supporting causes like the Wounded Warrior Run. It's also about friendship, community, and camaraderie.
Once a month our team meets at the hall to share a hearty breakfast then maintain, wash, and fix our trucks and equipment.
If you've thought about joining us, we welcome new members! Come by on Monday nights (6:30) for regular practice or just send us a PM on here and we can chat.
You can always help too by joining the Deep Bay Fire and Rescue Society and WE ALWAYS NEED HELP at the bottle drive on the 28th this month!
DBF&R always there for you. 🚒🚑🚘👩‍🚒👨‍🚒🐔

Thank goodness February was a short month, because we sure were BUSY! When not training with our fire fighters and first responders. We were out day time and night time answering call outs for 1 fire, 7 car crashes, 7 first responder calls and 1 miscellaneous call for a burning complaint. Whew! What a month, all that said, we're always ready for more!!!! (Including our regular practice Monday night).
DBF&R there for you ANYTIME!🚘🚑🚒👨‍🚒👩‍🚒

Recently Global Medic donated a Fire Skid to us.
"What's a Fire Skid" you ask?
It is an easily deployable portable pump and reservoir that enables us to transport and support a fire crew at a remote fire base. This significantly helps us be prepared to fight multiple fires in and near our community effectively.
We cannot thank Global Medic enough for this generous donation and made this little tribute video in honour.
