Fire Department Training
The Peachland Fire department has regular practices that are held on Monday nights and several special practices each year.
The PFRS participates in the regional Mutual Aid Agreement and has responded to communities in the North and South to aid during the summer forest fire season in recent years.
The department also assists the BC Ambulance service as "First Responders" and most members are trained as First Responder Level III.
