The Cowichan Bay Fire Rescue Department exists to provide fire, medical and other life safety services to those who reside, work, or travel through the Cowichan Bay Improvement District, which borders the City of Duncan, British Columbia on Vancouver Island, Canada. ==Overview== The Department currently operates under the authority of the Cowichan Bay Improvement District. Our fire protection area covers with an area population of well over to 10,000. Cowichan Bay Fire and Rescue responds to an average of 194 calls per year. Figures compiled in 1983 show the make-up of properties within the area to be as follows: 2058 parcels of land for assessment, 1550 of these were listed for residential purposes, 320 were listed for commercial use, 200 were listed as other types for miscellaneous use. Some of the populated subdivisions have organized their own local Water Districts and have installed over 80 hydrants and standpipes to assist with fire protection of these areas. Currently all 911 calls are routed to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) 911 center in Nanaimo where the call is screened then forwarded to FireCom in Nanaimo who will then activate Cowichan Bays alert pagers through a special tone alert paging system, calls for service range from, what some might consider a minor emergency, to significant events that threaten lives and property. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cowichan Bay Fire Rescue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
