Dashwood Fire Hall Replacement Project

The original two bay fire hall was constructed with cinder blocks in 1985. A third bay addition was built onto the side of the original structure in 1996.

Fire departments across the RDN provide a critical service for residents in Fire Protection Areas, these services can include fire suppression, rescue, hazardous materials, medical aid and more. The majority of the fire services in the RDN being provided by volunteers or paid on call members. To support the fire department members, the residents and the visitors to our region there must be sustained investments into fire services to maintain service levels.

  • The new Dashwood Fire Hall replacement is now complete. To learn more visit our recent Project Updates post and view our recent photos.

  • Hi -- May I know when construction on the new firehall is expected to begin? As well, who is the design architect for this project? Thank you.

    cristina.agudo asked about 6 years ago

    The selection of a design architect is expected to occur yearly this year with construction to follow.

  • Hi - I was curious what the square footage of the new firehall will be? Is it much larger than the old firehall?

    Robin G asked about 6 years ago

    The new fire hall main floor will be 7,814 sq. ft. of which approximately 4,700 sq. ft. is dedicated to the apparatus bays. The unfinished second floor will provide an additional 3,500 sq. ft. to allow room for growth.  The current fire hall has a total square footage of 3,200 sq. ft.
