About this service
The new residents of Coral Beach established the first unofficial fire department in the Carr's Landing area. Volunteers pulled second-hand hose from a trailer that carried a gas-powered water pump and built a fire hall garage on Coral Beach Road. In 1982 the community of Carr's Landing formed a steering committee to develop a fire protection area. By 1984, a temporary fire shed was built using volunteer labour and a used 1958 pumper truck was purchased from the Westbank Volunteer Fire Brigade. The Carr's Landing Fire Department was now officially a part of the Central Okanagan Regional District Fire Protection Area. In August 1984 the Coral Beach Fire Department amalgamated with Carr's Landing Brigade.
In 1995, when the District of Lake Country incorporated, the Carr's Landing Volunteer Fire Department became a part of the Lake Country Fire Department.
