Fire fighters and first responders are there for us when we need them.
Our volunteers serve the residents of the South Quadra Island Fire Protection District, working out of a 1970 building that is no longer adequate, safe, or compliant. Quadra Island needs a replacement Fire Hall #2 to keep the community and our volunteers safe.
Quadra Island Fire Department
The Quadra Island Fire Department has proudly served our community since 1960. Our 38 volunteer members are highly trained professionals serving approximately 2500 residents in the South Quadra Fire Protection District.
The Fire Department operates out of two strategically placed fire halls. Fire Hall #1 in Quathiaski Cove (844 Heriot Bay Rd) and Fire Hall #2 in Heriot Bay (1515 West Rd).

A replacement Fire Hall #2 for Heriot Bay
Fire Hall #2 in Heriot Bay was built in 1964. The needs of the community have grown since then and seismic reviews have found that the building will collapse in an earthquake. Retrofitting and renovating the current Fire Hall #2 is not practical given the lack of water on the site, the fact that the site is leased and not owned, the age of the building, and its seismic issues.
A new building is needed, to be built on land we own at 1525 West Road. The longer we wait to build, the more costly it will be.
A replacement Fire Hall #2 for Heriot Bay
Fire Hall #2 in Heriot Bay is a cinder block garage built in 1970 on leased land. The needs of the community and standards for fire halls have changed significantly since then. Seismic reviews have found that the building will likely collapse in an earthquake. Retrofitting and renovating the current Hall #2 is not practical given the lack of water and septic, the age and construction of the building, the seismic issues, and the fact that the lot is quite small and leased.
A new building is needed, to be built on land we already own at 1525 West Road. The longer we wait to build, the more costly it will be.
