SHELL-GLEN FIRE RESCUE

Located on the traditional territory of the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation

Services we provide.

Structure Protection

From houses to outbuildings, chimney fires and more, our firefighters are trained to respond quickly and effectively to protect the lives and properties of our community members.

Wildfire Protection

Wildfires can be caused by various sources - including lightning, campfires, exhaust pipes, tossed cigarettes, and even sparks from passing trains. SGFR works in conjunction with BC Wildfire Services to provide quick response to any wildfire. We also provide free advice on fire-smarting your property.

Auto-Extrication

Our roads see a variety of motorized vehicles, and despite everyone’s best intentions, collisions happen. We use hydraulic rescue tools such as spreaders, cutters and telescopic rams to extricate entrapped patients from vehicles that are damaged.

Property Pre-Plans/Education

Contact us to learn more about creating a property pre-plan in advance of any potential emergency. It helps our team respond more efficiently and is especially helpful with those who have complex terrain or hazardous materials on their properties. It also provides valuable training for our members with different scene size up opportunities.

Medical Emergencies

Calling 9-1-1 as soon as you experience any medical emergency is vital, and seconds and minutes can make a big difference in potential outcomes. With our community's distance from BC Ambulance we can experience varying wait times. Our trained members are there to help assist you with any life threatening emergency you may experience while awaiting BC Ambulance.

Technical Rescue

Whether it's rescuing you from a car accident down an embankment via rope line, or other technical rescue measures are needed, we are ready to put our training into practice and bring you to safety.
We also have a rescue stretcher and trail wheel so we can bring injured patients out from areas that cannot be accessed by vehicles, such as local trails.

Traffic Control

When it comes to a downed power line or a motor vehicle incident, SGFR members will direct traffic around hazardous situations and protect the safety of motorists and pedestrians.

HAZMAT Scenarios

Our community's unique location in relation to various pipelines and railways, as well as the natural gas services and propane tanks within the community, present various potential hazards which our members are specifically trained on.

Mutual Aid

SGFR responds to emergencies in neighbouring communities when called upon for mutual aid. It's a reciprocal relationship that allows for local fire departments to attend large and complex situations with increased support and safety.

Our job is to keep you safe.
