Fire Protection

Gambier Island has no municipal fire protection. Therefore, fire prevention/suppression is our shared responsibility.

In the summer you will find out about when the practices and demonstrations are that deal with the use of fire suppression equipment through Gambier Islanders Facebook, emails and posters.

There is a fire equipment trailer at Gambier Harbour, West Bay and New Brighton to assist volunteers to suppress a neighbourhood fire.
