Federal government invests in new fire and emergency services centre in Lytton

Lytton, British Columbia, December 16, 2025 — The Government of Canada is committed to constructing net-zero, fire-resistant public spaces as part of rebuilding the Village of Lytton. As part of this commitment, a fire and emergency services centre will be built following an investment of more than $23.1 million from the federal government through the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings program.

The new facility will replace the fire hall that was destroyed in the 2021 fire and will provide a space to safely store firefighting apparatus and gear, as well as serve as a training facility. It will include a double height garage with three bays to house firetrucks and rescue vehicles, and will provide storage for a mobile trailer to be used in emergencies.

In addition to the fire hall, the new space will feature an Emergency Operations Centre (EOC), which will act as a command centre and support for coordinating response efforts. The EOC will also serve as a central hub in the event of evacuations and emergencies in the area, offering a warm and safe place for community members to gather, access supplies, and connect with loved ones during challenging times caused by climate-related events.
