Company Description

History of the Department

The Bow Horn Bay Volunteer Fire Department was established in 1952 as the Qualicum Bay Fire Department, but that name was confusing because of the proximity to the Qualicum Beach Fire Department and the fact that the coverage area was expanding . So in 1956 it was renamed the Bow Horn Bay Fire Department (an amalgam for Bowser, Horne Lake Road and Qualicum Bay area). After moving several times from one inadequate building to another, a purpose built three-bay hall was erected on Lions Way in Qualicum Bay in 1978. A couple of years later another two bays were added on to the rear of the present hall.
