Serving the Citizens of Merritt
for over 100 Years
Message from the Fire Chief;
To the Merritt Fire Rescue Department, there is nothing more important than the community we serve, and the men and women of this fine organization recognize their responsibility to help ensure the safety of our citizens. In that regard, the department’s values of Integrity, Mentoring, People, Response, Empathy, Service and Safety has been bestowed upon every member.
For 100 years, our Department has strived to adapt and change as the risks, threats, and challenges to the community have changed. It is my belief that our greatest asset in carrying out our mission is our team of hard-working professionals, dedicated to the delivery of quality public safety service.
As you navigate through our website at any given time there may be firefighters helping our community or are preparing to do so at a moment’s notice. My hope is you won’t need the response of our emergency work force. If you do, rest assured you will see a highly trained, competent, and a diverse work force. Our firefighters will aid you and your loved ones any day, at any hour.
David A. Tomkinson
Fire Chief
