    I was looking for information on the layout of a firehall, and stumbled across your site. I couldn't believe it when I saw were you are located... I recently moved to Toronto from Victoria, and it was nice to see that little ol' Metchosin is alive and well on the 'net! [laugh]

    I really like your image-map of the apparatus room! Some of the hot-spots are difficult to find, but it is *exactly* what I was looking for. I hope more fire departments see it and put similar stuff online!

    Hope your summer was safe, and that autumn and winter bring no fires... only plenty of rain and little cats stuck in trees. :)

    Cheers,
