Oromocto Fire Department

==Service Area==
The Town of Oromocto is located at the confluence of the Saint John and Oromocto rivers in central New Brunswick, southeast of Fredericton. It had a population of 9000 people according to the 2021 Census, but has since amalgamated with portions of the surrounding Parish of Lincoln. The Town's economy is dominated by Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Gagetown, a large army base over 1100 square kilometres in area.
==History==
The Oromocto Fire Department was formed in 1931 as a volunteer force. When Camp Gagetown (later CFB Gagetown) opened in 1955, the town expanded from a few hundred to 10,000 people and a planned community was built. Full-time firefighters were hired and the volunteers disbanded. Volunteers were reintroduced to the department in 1999.
