Beasley Fire Rescue

The Beasley Fire Department serves an area of approximately 30 square kilometres, with some 400 dwellings and 1,100 people and including a tricky section of highway along the Beasley Bluffs. We are funded by the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) and operate on an entirely volunteer basis, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The department provides:

emergency fire protection and suppression
emergency rescue including swiftwater and rope rescue
first responder emergency medical care in support of the BC Ambulance Service
suppression of wildland fires in support of the BC Ministry of Forests
fire prevention and investigation in support of the BC Fire Commissioner
mutual aid assistance to other RDCK and city fire departments

The Beasley Rescue Society is organized and equipped for specialized rescues, such as rope, confined space and swiftwater, that are outside the scope of the fire department.
