Esquimalt Fire Rescue

==History==
Esquimalt operated a joint Police / Fire Department from 1912 until January 1, 2003. On that date, Victoria Police Department took over policing duties and Esquimalt Fire Rescue was formed as a stand alone agency. The municipal Public Safety building houses both Esquimalt FR and the Esquimalt division of the Victoria PD.
