North River Fire has been busy adding to it’s fleet over the last few months! We have upgraded two of our aging units to keep up with our growing community and call volume.
First we replaced our 65ft ladder truck with a 2009 100ft platform truck that will help us tremendously when dealing with structure fires and to ensure we have the best coverage for the growing amount of apartment buildings in our coverage area.
Second we replaced our aging Argo (all terrain vehicle) with a brand new unit which is equip to help us reach those in need no matter how much snow, trees, water, or rocks are in our way!
Thank you to all of the communities we serve for your continued support!
Guess what! Santa is COMING! We have been working hard with Santa to iron out the route for the 28th annual Santa Tour and it is going to be amazing! We had to change the format of the big visit to ensure everyone is safe (including the big guy himself!) and to adhere to social distancing guidelines. But don’t worry Santa is indeed coming to town!
What is it? The NRFD will be escorting Santa along as designated route. You get to see SANTA also a firetruck or two. We are not able to make any stops so this will be “drive by” style!
When is it? December 12th
Main Tour 2PM Cornwall portion begins at 6PM

The members of the North River Fire Department would like to announce the arrival of Engine 3 all thanks to the tremendous support we received from the Island Community as well as the media supporting us during our Chase the Ace fundraiser.
Engine 3 arrived on the evening of Friday 18th,
and Firefighters started on the new apparatus right away! The new truck is slated to go into service sometime this week.
Engine 3 is replacing a 1987 model that was also custom built for the Fire Dept. and has since been sold to a small Fire Dept in North Dakota.
New Engine 3 was build in Centerville N.B. by Metfab Fire Trucks and came at a price of $518,000 which was fully paid by our Chase The Ace fundraiser!
