Sahtlam Volunteer Fire Recue was formed as the Sahtlam Fire Protection District covering 159 residences and 26 square miles in 1970. Equipment was begged and borrowed to equip the fledgling department. The first fire chief was Tom Cumpstone who was elected because of his previous experience while employed as a professional firefighter at the Linwell Fire Hall in the City of St. Catharines fire department in Ontario. In 1972 the Cowichan Valley Regional District was requested to fund the Sahtlam Fire Department through area taxation. The department is now a function within the Regional District.
This year we will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of our department
A new year has rolled around, so please let's make this the safest year for our community
