The Byron Fire Station was built in 1954 right beside the Byron Library and was operated by volunteer firefight - ers. The current station, Station 12, was built in 2000 and is staffed by four platoons, each with four firefighters. The crew handles a wide range of emergencies, including structure fires, vehicle collisions, medical calls, technical res - cues, and public assistance. Byron also has a Technical Rescue Team specializing in low-slope and high-angle rescues. Fire safety education is also a key part of the job. Byron firefighters regularly visit schools, participate in community events, and provide fire truck tours. They’re always willing to answer questions from neighbours who stop by.
