Equipment

The BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) uses a range of equipment from high pressure water pumps, ATVs, rock trucks and skidders in support of fire operations. Most equipment is hired prior to and early in the fire season (March-May) by the local Fire Center(s).

To supply equipment listed in the BCWS Equipment Rates below, equipment owners should contact their local fire centre to be registered for “as and when required” work. 

Note: While fire centres will register equipment owners throughout the fire season, most “as and when required” equipment rental agreements are issued between March-May each year.

Vendor Portal Application

Vendor Portal is a platform that allows suppliers to manage their contracts, personnel, equipment, and groups independently. Additionally, equipment suppliers can electronically submit daily time reports through this portal.
