This plaque, placed to commemorate the men and women of the Canadian Fire Service, shares a tall plinth of cut granite stones with a similar plaque dedicated to the police forces of Canada. To the north is a similar plaque mounted on a similar plinth, dedicated to the Naval Forces of Canada and the British Commonwealth.
All memorials are situated in Veterans Memorial Park, a small treed park adjoining the north side of the provincial courthouse. Completed in 2012, Veterans Memorial Park also contains a tall World War I Cenotaph, erected in 1920, to which was later added plaques honouring the veterans of World War II.
