Though it does say "Fire Hall" on the fire hall, we chose the Christina Lake Fire - Rescue sign on the offices for the title.

We know that it's new because the original address we had for the fire hall is for their old one, now empty. It had an old mower in front, though, so finding it wasn't a complete waste. This fire hall seems to be no larger than the old one, but does have room for offices. It appears that they have included a hose drying tower in the design. At this fire hall they have erected a war memorial at the edge of the parking lot.

Here is their current apparatus line up:
  • Engine 1 - 2012 Freightliner M2 / Smeal (1050/?) (SN#218030)
  • Engine 2 - 1993 Volvo FE42 / Hub (1050/1000) (SN#1960)
  • Engine 3 - 1981 GMC Sierra 3500 / Hub Mini Pumper (250/250)
  • Tender 4 - 1997 Ford Tanker Truck(?/1700)
  • Rescue 5 - Arctic Cat Side by Side All Terrain Vehicle
