Fire Safety


The Erris Volunteer Fire Association was formed in 2009 by a group of people who were concerned with the distance between the Princeton Volunteer Fire Brigade and the Hayes Creek Fire and Rescue in Bankeir. It is not funded by the government, and instead relies on an optional registration fee of $80/year, any properties within the EVFA Fire Protection district is welcome to register their property. The EVFA functions as both a Fire Department and Medical First Response and extends along the 12 kilometer mark to the 30 kilometer mark, and includes Baker Hill Road and Pinewood Crescent.

The Real Estate Market 


Most properties in the small community are around 5 acres or more. The properties are serviced by Fortis power and Telus landlines. Private wells and septic systems are generally installed for water/sewer . Erris is the perfect area to start hobby farms, or build a country home that's close enough to town amenities, but far enough away for optimum privacy.
