History District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services came into being in 1954. At that time there were four Fire Halls manned by one person, 24 hours a day, supplemented by a volunteer brigade. In 1970 the District of North Vancouver staffed each of its stations with three full-time firefighters, ending its need for volunteers. 1972 saw the addition of one more Fire Station bringing the total number to five the present day complement. Staffing was increased to four men per pumper in 1974 and a ladder truck was added to the fleet in 1975.
