    The two levels of office space are being custom designed with specific Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services (VFRS) headquarter needs in mind. There are no plans for the foreseeable future to have any other occupants in this building.

    Is the office space strictly for Fire services use or will it be leased out office space?

    Justin Payne asked about 1 year ago

    There will be no leased office space. The two levels of office space proposed will accommodate Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services (VFRS) functions only, and will include senior administration,  fire investigations, and a department operations centre.
