Fire Hall No. 6 Replacement

The City of Abbotsford is constructing a new Fire Hall No. 6 in Historic Downtown to support Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) and the essential emergency response it provides the community.

The existing Fire Hall No. 6 building, located on West Railway Street near Laurel Street, has reached the end of its service life and will be demolished to make way for a larger, modern and more functional facility at the same location. The new four-bay fire hall will include expanded training and program space, a classroom equipped to support coordinated emergency responses, sleeping quarters, kitchen and common area, storage, decontamination laundry and recovery facilities to help firefighters detoxify from harmful chemicals commonly encountered during firefighting. The upgraded facility will provide firefighters with the space and resources to do their jobs safely and respond effectively, while also accommodating for future growth as the community continues to expand.

A temporary fire hall will operate from the current AFRS Training Centre on Riverside Road while construction of the new facility is underway.

Replacing the aging Fire Hall No. 6 facility was identified as a priority action in City Council’s Strategic Plan, supporting Council’s commitment to public safety and goal of fostering a sustainable and safe city.
