Gravenhurst Volunteer Fire Department

Our two latest apparatus for the department's fleet were officially unveiled to the public on Wednesday, June 24th. Firefighters, their family's, friends and members of the public joined us as we held a Commisioning and Dedication Ceremony. Chaplain, Rev., Dr. James Sitler, led those assembled to hope that these apparatus would never need to be used, and if they should, that those who respond on them will arrive and returm safe and sound.In typical tradition the new trucks were "rolled out" for all to see and admire what they're tax dollars have purchased. Unit One is a 2008 Pierce Saber Engine which will be used to fight fires

from Station One. And Unit Eight is a 2009 Pierce Saber Water Tanker which will see service throughout the community from Station One.

Above, Unit One and Unit Eight are "rolled out" officially for the first time.
