We are proud to provide top-notch firefighting services to our community. Our team of well-trained firefighters is on standby 24/7, ready to respond to any emergency. We also offer fire safety education and community outreach programs to ensure that our community stays safe and prepared. We are a vital part of the community and wish to continue to offer services.
However, we are one of only two departments in BC that receive no government funding because Sunshine Valley is unincorporated. We raise money for training and equipment through grant applications and our operating expenses are covered through summer deployments, fundraising activities and fire dues.
Costs over the years have gone up significantly and our ability to continue to operate the department and cover basic expenses continues to be a struggle. We have a resourceful team who have been able to keep the department running but now we need your help.
We are in need of a new fire truck and have to raise over $250,000.00. This is a large goal and one where we will need a lot of help. We are currently seeking any available grants specifically for the purchase of a fire truck but they are difficult to find. We are also looking at the availability of another used truck, however the life cycle of a used truck also means it will need to be replaced sooner which is the situation we are faced with now.
We have put together a fundraising committee to come up with events and campaigns to raise the funds needed to secure another truck.
We will have a calendar of fundraising events posted to this page and hope you will join us. If you wish to donate money towards the purchase of a new truck contact fundraising@svvfd.com.
Stay tuned for more details and events.
