Mork from Ork liked to say this = "xxxx, xxxx." Remember that fire and water don't miix. Where there is fire there is the need for water. This is one spot that you can get it from.
Kennebecasis Valley Fire Department
The department was formed in 1924 as the Village of Rothesay Fire Department. It was comprised of all volunteers and their first apparatus was a 1924 Ford Model “T” chemical unit. Over the years the department grew in size and changed locations several times. In 1966, when several of the surrounding villages were incorporated the department began official fire protection to the six municipalities in the Kennebecasis Valley. In 1967 the first two (2) career fire fighters were hired, Chief Geoff Sayre and Deputy Chief Earl Carleton.
In 1982 the Quispamsis fire Station was officially opened, giving us a faster response time to the growing population in that area. In 1989 the department was regionalized and became jointly owned by all six municipalities. Then in 1998 the provincial government amalgamated the valley into two large towns, Quispamsis and Rothesay. This amalgamation included the former six municipalities as well as a large portion of the parish of Rothesay. Along with portions of three local service districts the total coverage area is in excess of 120 square kilometers.
With these changes and the increasing size of the force and equipment it was apparent a new fire station was necessary to house the organization. On April 22, 2001 the new fire station on Campbell Drive in Rothesay was officially opened. The change of name from Rothesay Regional to Kennebecasis Valley came about in 2006, the result of a new regional agreement signed between the two towns.
The department is a composite organization comprised of a Chief, Deputy Chief, Divisional Chief, twenty-eight career staff, six part-time fire fighters, and thirty volunteer fire fighters. Housed in the two fire stations are two rapid intervention vehicles, three pumpers, a Quint, three tankers, an equipment van, a Boston Whaler rescue boat, an all terrain vehicle and three service vehicles.
