CFS Ladner Fire Department

==History==
Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Ladner was a military communications facility and airfield located in Delta, British Columbia. Royal Canadian Air Force Station Boundary Bay opened as a British Commonwealth Air Training Plan airfield in 1941 but No. 18 Elementary Flying Training School was moved to an airfield in Saskatchewan after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Boundary Bay became a base for west coast fighter squadrons and later home to an operational training unit for Consolidated Liberator bomber crews. Operations wound down at the end of the war, but the site was transferred to the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals and established as the Vancouver Wireless Station in 1949. Operating as a signals intelligence gathering facility, the station became CFS Ladner upon the unification of Canada's military in 1968. Ladner was closed in 1971.
The airfield was reopened as Boundary Bay Airport in 1983, serving as a general aviation facility for the Greater Vancouver area. Transport Canada transferred ownership to the City of Delta and the airport is now home to charter services, flight training schools and air cargo operations. Fire protection is provided by Delta Fire & Emergency Services.
