We are a small but dedicated fire department located along the US border between Osoyoos and Rock Creek, in beautiful British Columbia. Our team consists of around 20 committed members who proudly serve our community with a wide range of emergency services.
Our department is trained and equipped to respond to:
Structural firefighting
Rope rescue operations
Auto extrication for vehicle accidents
EMA (Emergency Medical Assistant) First Responder
And perhaps most importantly in our region, Wildfire suppression and prevention
With wildfires becoming more frequent and severe in our area, a large part of our effort is focused on wildland firefighting. We are constantly training and preparing to respond quickly and effectively when wildfires threaten our community. Together with AMFRS (Anarchist Mountain Fire Rescue Society), we have two wildfire defense trailers equipped and ready to support structure protection and suppression efforts when the need arises.
We also have a strong FireSmart team, including Wildfire Mitigation Specialists, who work hard to help residents reduce the risk of wildfire around their properties. Education, prevention, and community engagement are key parts of our strategy to keep our area safe.
We are always looking for new members to join our team. Whether you have experience or are completely new to emergency services, there’s a place for you at Anarchist Mountain Fire Department. Just contact the Fire Chief, and let’s have a conversation about how you can get involved!
