Council voted unanimously in favour of making the Revelstoke Fire Rescue Services a Full-Service Operations Level Fire Department with a Training Program to match.

In 2014, the Province of BC’s Fire Commissioner established Fire Service Minimum Training Standards (“the Playbook”) which requires Council to declare their firefighting service level for their communities.

The full service levels are defined as Exterior Operations, Interior Operations on small structures and Full-Service Operations on any residential, commercial or industrial structures.
