Working With You to Keep Your Community Safe.

Thornhill Fire Department responds to both emergency and non-emergency incidents that includes more than fires. We respond to medical emergencies, teach fire prevention and fire safety courses.  Our ongoing public awareness and outreach promoting fire safety and education have reduced the number of dangerous fires overall.

The Thornhill Fire Department has one fire hall / training site located in Thornhill and two satellite fire halls located at Lakelse Lake and Gitaus.

• Thornhill
• Hwy 16 East of Thornhill to Chimdemash Creek

The City of Terrace Fire Department responds to other areas that include:

• Brauns Island
• North Terrace
• New Remo

• 3 Fire Engines for fire suppression, tools, water and crew,
• 3 Water Tenders to move water to the fire as needed,

• This unit acts as the command center with power generation, office work stations, communications, washroom and REHAB
