Brighouse (City Centre)

Officially opened September 15, 2018, the 25,000 square foot new facility replaced the 50-year-old 17,000 square foot original Brighouse location.
The design of the new fire hall meets strict operational requirements to fulfil the needs of our growing community while also presenting a solid civic image.

Steveston
No. 2 Hall
11011 No. 2 Road, Richmond, BC V7E 2E6
The Steveston Fire Hall No. 2 is on 3,072 square metres of land owned by the City of Richmond. The two bay drive-through fire hall sits on a small corner lot. The footprint of the fire hall is set obliquely on the site to accommodate the ingress and egress of safety vehicles with large turning radii. Extensive traffic analysis was undertaken to achieve the optimal apparatus bay location and orientation on site.
Situated at the door step of the historic Steveston village community, the fire hall acts as a natural gateway to the community with its hose/training tower announcing its presence as a beacon. Facing the streets, the transparent apparatus bay proudly presents its inner workings to the public with the extensive use of windows; while the day room, kitchen/dining and dormitory are located behind, towards residential neighbourhood as a privacy buffer to residents.
Cambie
No. 3 Hall
9680 Cambie Road, Richmond, BC V6X 1K4
The new $20.7 million Cambie Fire Hall No. 3 and Richmond North Ambulance Station replaced the 59 year old Bridgeport Fire Hall and adjacent B.C. Ambulance Service Station. The building is the first facility in a major B.C. city that has combined Fire and Ambulance services in one building.
Locating the two agencies in a single purpose-built facility and co-sharing of some common spaces, provides a number of operational and financial efficiencies. In addition, it provides the potential for joint training activities to further strengthen collaboration and the working relationship between our two agencies.
