Ripley-Huron Fire Department

The primary mission of the Ripley-Huron Fire Department is “To provide a range of programs to protect the lives and property of the inhabitants from the adverse affects of fires, sudden medical emergencies or exposure to dangerous conditions created by man or nature”.

The Ripley-Huron Fire Department consists of 20 volunteer firefighters which include a Fire Chief, Deputy Chief, Administrator, two training officers and five Captains.  

The Ripley-Huron Fire Department responds to calls for the area of Huron-Kinloss west of the Huron-Kinloss Township Road.  Excluded in that area are the lands north of 162 Bruce Beach Road, north of 806 Lake Range Drive east to approximately 1 ¼ mile east of Highway 21 (see Ripley-Huron Fire Department map). 
Properties west and north of these lines, are serviced by the Kincardine Fire Department.
If you have questions about which fire department covers your property, please contact the Township of Huron-Kinloss municipal office at 519-395-3735.
