Fire Protection

The Mattice-Val Côté Fire Department is currently (January 2022) comprised of 18 volunteer firefighters, including a Fire Chief, a Deputy Chief and a few captains. 

​

The Department provides the following core services:

1. Structural firefighting: external fire attack only, based on the number of firefighters available and the equipment available to them;

2. Grass and brush firefighting, in accordance with our agreement with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests;

3. Fire prevention and public education services;

4. Other services such as the Mutual Aid program with surrounding communities, participation in the municipal emergency plan, etc.

​

Please note that the Department does NOT have the ability or the means to perform internal fire attacks, vehicle extrication, or internal search and rescue.

​

The volunteer firefighters usually meet every two weeks to obtain training, test equipment, etc.

​

There are two fire halls in the Municipality: one in Mattice, and the other in Val Côté.  The Department has two fire trucks and one pumper.

​

The Department is always looking for new volunteers. For more information, please contact Kevin Grenon, Fire Chief, by email at  firedept@matticevalcote.ca.
