We Need Your Help

Do you have family or close friends that once served with the Halifax Fire Department or even before that with the Union Engine Company, Union Protection Company or any of the many fire related services that operated on behalf of the Insuring Companies in Halifax? We want to talk to you!

Documents, photos, scrapbooks, artifacts and even stories passed down are all important to us. We are constantly digging to find, document and preserve our history. Your help is necessary to keep this information available for generations to come and not let it become lost forever.

Proudly Preserving Halifax Fire History Since 1754

The Halifax Fire Historical Society (HFHS) was created in order to retrace some of the lost or little known Halifax Fire Department history, through retired member accounts and research at various municipal and provincial archives. It is operated and maintained by some of the Department's own members.
