Fire protection

The Regional District of Central Okanagan is responsible for fire protection and suppression services provided through four paid-on-call departments in areas of the two unincorporated electoral areas.

Each of the departments provides services specifically within its fire protection area.  These services are funded by property owners living within the fire department jurisdiction.

Slow down and move over for emergency vehicles

If you see an emergency vehicle stopped on the side of the road, you must slow down your vehicle and move over to the shoulder of the road (if possible, and if safe to do so).
