Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (British Columbia)

==History==
Located in the Fraser Valley east of Vancouver, modern day Abbotsford was created by the merging of Abbotsford, Matsqui and Sumas. The District of Abbotsford; the District of Matsqui and the District of Sumas were all founded in 1892. The Village of Abbotsford was founded in 1924. Abbotsford, Matsqui and Sumas all formed their own volunteer fire departments. In 1972 the District & Village of Abbotsford merged with the District of Sumas, as did the Abbotsford & Sumas Volunteer Fire Departments. In 1980, the Abbotsford Fire Department merged with the Matsqui Fire Department to become the Abbotsford-Matsqui Fire Department. In January 1995, the District of Abbotsford and the District of Matsqui merged into The City of Abbotsford. The Fire Department became Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service.
