The Edgewood Volunteer Fire Department has been active for a number of years, however in the last year our membership and interest level has increased substantially. The Edgewood Valley has on average one to two fires per year, ranging from grass fires to fully engulfed structures. We have been adding to and updating our equipment regularly and are now working on increased training.
Because of the size of the Edgewood Valley and surrounding areas including , Whatshan Lake, Needles Road and the Lower Inonoaklan Road, we have two fire halls, one located in the village of Edgewood and the other located at the junction of Highway 6 and the Inonoaklan Valley Road. Our volunteers come from all across our coverage area.
We recently organized a dedicated phone line which is answered 24/7 as the Edgewood Volunteer Fire Department. For fire emergencies call 250-269-0023.
Anyone interested in becoming a member of the Edgewood Volunteer Fire Department should call 250-269-0049 or 250-269-7143.
