Message from the Fire Chief Darcey O'Riordan |
I am pleased to present the Port Moody Fire Rescue Community Report for 2022.
Port Moody Fire has been proudly serving our community since 1913. Through effective and timely emergency response, fire prevention initiatives, progressive training and public education practices, Port Moody aspires to be one of the safest communities in Canada. During 2022, Port Moody Fire Rescue remained resilient working through the changing stages of the COVID-19 global pandemic. This year, our incident volume increased by 20 per cent to 1,580 emergency incident responses, our busiest year in history. To start the year, crews completed fireground operations training in local acquired structures slated for demolition. Specialized industry partnership training prepared our crews for tower crane rescues, as well as complex industrial incidents and electrical emergencies. PMFR provided structure and oversight for our City’s Emergency Operations Centre (EOC), which was activated with two emergency exercises in 2022, facilitating EOC skill development for staff from all City departments. Once again, the Port Moody Firefighters Charitable Society hosted several charitable events, raising over $100,000 in support of local organizations. In the summer they engaged the community with the 45th annual pancake breakfast, and a cycling ride to Harrison Hot Springs in support of the Canucks Autism Network. Fall highlights included the Dave Shefley Charitable golf tournament, a boot drive in support of Muscular Dystrophy Canada, and a Christmas toy drive. Port Moody Fire Rescue prides itself on its dedication to community and serving Port Moody with trust, integrity, service, and teamwork. In 2023 and beyond, we will continue to support Port Moody with first-class emergency response and community service. |
