Fire Hall Renovations

Parksville Fire Hall to be Renovated!
It's official, the residents of the City of Parksville will be getting an updated fire hall in 2010. The cost to upgrade the existing fire hall was approved by Council as part of the 2009-2013 revised budget bylaw.

See the Fire Hall Renovations section for full details, updates, and soon pictures.

For information regarding the project contact the department directly.

New Headquarters

PVFD Headquarters Now Located at 120 Jensen Avenue West
For the next few months while the Parksville Firehall undergoes upgrades and renovations, the temporary headquarters for the Parksville Fire Department will be at 120 Jensen Avenue West.

The department had planned to bring a trailer unit on to the construction site to use as office space, however, as a cost savings measure, the department has chosen to use the old house at 120 Jensen Avenue West as their temporary offices. The City owned house which is slated for demolition is just down the block from the existing firehall.

The inside of the house has had a fresh coat of paint and it's beginning to look like an office. By using the house as temporary headquarters, the department expects to save about $7,500 - money which will be put towards the construction.
