Cette caserne de pompiers est située sur la rue Nottaway à Matagami, Québec.

L'équipe est composée d'une vingtaine de pompiers volontaires, dont six officiers, soit un directeur, un directeur adjoint, deux capitaines et deux lieutenants.

Selon Wikipedia, "Matagami est une petite ville au Québec, au Canada. Il est situé au nord d'Amos, sur le lac Matagami, à l'extrémité nord de la route 109 et au début de la route de la Baie James. La ville avait une population de 1 526 en 2011.

Matagami fut fondée en 1963 lors du développement de l'extraction minière. Auparavant, il n'y avait qu'un petit camp de prospection accessible par hydravion, mais, après la découverte d'un gisement important à la fin des années 1950, un établissement permanent a été établi.

En 1962, la Commission de toponymie du Québec a tenté de renommer la communauté « Mazenod » d'après Charles-Joseph-Eugène de Mazenod, le fondateur des Oblats de Marie-Immaculée, mais, après les plaintes des résidants de la communauté, elle a finalement été renommée d'après le lac Matagami. Matagami, en cri, signifie « confluence des eaux".

*****************************************************************

This fire station is located on Nottaway Street in Matagami, Quebec.

The team consists of about twenty volunteer firefighters, including six officers, one director, one deputy director, two captains and two lieutenants.

According to Wikipedia, "Matagami is a small town in Quebec, Canada. It is located north of Amos, on Matagami Lake, at the northern terminus of Route 109 and the start of the James Bay Road (French: Route de la Baie James). The town had a population of 1,526 in 2011.

Matagami was founded in 1963 with the development of mining in the area. Previously, it existed only as a very small prospecting camp accessible only by float plane, but after a viable mineral deposit was found in the late 1950s a permanent settlement began to be established. In 1962, the Quebec Toponomy Commission attempted to name the new community Mazenod after Charles-Joseph-Eugène de Mazenod, the founder of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, but after a public outcry by local residents the community was named after Matagami Lake.

The name Matagami means "the confluence of waters" in the Cree language".
