Disasters Don't Plan Ahead

Disasters can happen at anytime. Having a resilient facility that can withstand a disaster ensures that the Dashwood Volunteer Fire Department members can respond to emergencies under the most trying circumstances.

Recent significant events responded to by the Dashwood Volunteer Fire Department include:

• a landslide that completely destroyed a home trapping an occupant side
• a wind storm that spread across the region causing trees to topple over roads, homes and power lines
• a rainfall event that caused the Little Qualicum River to breach its banks

These significant events are in addition to the fires and mutual aid calls handled every year by the Dashwood Volunteer Fire Department. Help support your volunteers with a fire hall that provides adequate space and meets seismic standards.
