Throughout the summer, Maple Ridge firefighters made several trips to Camp Goodtimes, volunteering their time alongside Mission Fire Rescue and camp counsellors to taking part in one of the camp’s favourite traditions, a water fight with the kids.

Camp Goodtimes provides camp experiences for children and teens affected by cancer, along with their siblings and families, giving them a chance to have fun, build friendships and simply enjoy being kids.

Since 7:00am yesterday morning, Maple Ridge Fire Fighters have responded to over 30 calls across the city, including two commercial structure fires 🔥

With crews continuously responding to calls across the city, here are a few things to keep in mind:

If an emergency vehicle is approaching with lights and sirens, please pull over and give it room to pass safely. When passing an active scene, slow down and give emergency vehicles and crews plenty of space.

Never drive over fire hose. Even if it looks flat or unused, it may still be supplying water or could be needed at any moment. Driving over it can damage the hose, interrupt water supply and create a serious safety issue. It is also a ticketable offence.

Please respect road closures and traffic control. We plan and coordinate our water supply to reduce traffic impacts as much as possible, but depending on hydrant and incident locations, road closures are sometimes unavoidable.

Thank you to our community for your patience and cooperation around active scenes.

After a busy month of wildfire deployments, our latest crew is heading home from Summerland today.

Since mid-July, Maple Ridge firefighters have assisted with wildfire response in communities across British Columbia, with deployments taking members to Pemberton, Clinton, Boston Bar, Summerland and other areas of the province. At the same time, crews here at home have continued serving Maple Ridge through a busy summer in our own community.

With this deployment wrapping up, all of our crews are currently back home. We’ll continue to stay in contact with BC Wildfire Service and remain ready to assist again if needs across the province change.

Danika and Sienna spent this past weekend at Camp Ignite, getting an incredible firsthand look at the many different skills and challenges that come with a career in the fire service.

Proudly sponsored by Maple Ridge Fire Rescue, they took part in a wide range of hands-on training, including auto extrication, hose operations, first aid, technical rescue, fire extinguishers, forcible entry and car fire.... just to name a few!

One of our own members was also there throughout the weekend, helping instruct and mentor participants along the way.

A huge thank you to Burnaby Fire Department, Vancouver Fire Rescue Services and the Justice Institute of British Columbia for helping make Camp Ignite such a valuable experience.

We’re proud to support opportunities like this and even more proud of Danika and Sienna for representing Maple Ridge Fire Rescue so well!
