North Queens Fire Association: Serving Since 1939
The North Queens Fire Association was established in 1939 to provide essential fire protection services to our community.

Our current operations are run from our modern station located at 9793 Highway 8, Caledonia, Nova Scotia.
Chief Chris Wolfe currently leads the dedicated team.
