History of the fire brigades
The RMC of Haute-Gaspésie aligns eight municipalities and two Territories (N-OT). Among these 8 municipalities, 5 offer fire protection services. Although the towns of Cap-Chat and Sainte-Anne-des-Monts share the same fire protection Chief and services are pooled between them, the departments are completely independent.
The fire protection services of the RMC of Haute-Gaspésie are accessible through the Centre d'appel d'urgence des régions de l'est du Québec (CAUREQ). All 9-1-1 calls are forwarded to the fire stations closest to the location of the emergency situation and are contacted by means of alphanumeric video warning system.
