Musquash Fire Rescue Department is a Local Service District Fire Department with over 40 all volunteer members. We have been serving the communities of Chance Harbour, Dipper Harbour, Lepreau, Little Lepreau, Maces Bay, Musquash, and Prince of Wales since January 1, 1987 providing Fire Suppression, Rescue and Auto Extrication Services and other assistance in times of crisis. It is an honour to serve as Fire Chief with the Musquash Fire Rescue Department. As Fire Chief, I am responsible for insuring the fire safety of the residents that we serve, as well as the safety and well being of those firefighters under my command. Our volunteer firefighters are dedicated to protecting and supporting our community with hard work and training however, we cannot insure your fire safety by ourselves – you must play a part, so please ensure the safety of your home, your family, and your life.

In July, 1947 Fire Chief G.R. (Geordie) Sutherland called a special meeting of the Brigade to discuss the need for a building 'in which to keep our fire equipment' as the current heated building was needed by the Box Mill before winter. The Chief 'favoured a tile building, complete with a tower for drying the fire hose'; size was to be 'approximately 20'x30? at least 10? on the posts.'
