INCIDENTS

The East Grand Fire Protection District is dedicated to saving lives and property in the Fraser Valley and surrounding communities. In addition to structure, vehicle and wildland fires, East Grand handles a variety of off road rescue, auto extrication and hazardous material responses. Due to the complicated nature of rescue in the mountains, East Grand Fire works side by side with Grand County Ambulance, Grand County Search & Rescue and the Grand County Sheriff's Office.
