History of the Department |
Member Vancouver Island Fire Fighters Association |
This department was established in 1952 as the Qualicum Bay Fire Department
but it was confusing because of the proximity to the Qualicum Beach Fire
Department and the coverage area was expanding exponentially. So in
1956 it became the Bow Horn Bay Fire Department (An amalgam for Bowser, Horne
Lake Road and Qualicum Bay area.) After moving several times from one
inadequate building to another a purpose built three-bay hall was erected
on Lions Way in Qualicum Bay in 1978. A couple of years later another
two bays were added on to the rear of the present hall.
