About RHPOS (Rural Hedley Property Owners Society)
Local residents Steve and Kirsten Simmons saw a need for a fire protection service in Rural Hedley. They took it upon themselves to start Pineview Fire Protection Services and purchase a fire truck. Steve is a certified fire fighter and is also qualified to train those wanting to join our brigade. Kirsten is certified in first aid and qualified to train others as well. Together they saw an opportunity to provide a vital service to our community.
The word got out and the first AGM meeting of the newly formed Rural Hedley Property Owners Society took place on August 24th, 2025. The meeting was well attended and residents were informed of options and services available and elected board members to the following positions::
Since that meeting in August the above members of the board went door to door informing residents within our coverage area of the services available to them should they choose to become a member of the RHPOS.
The society has also been working to acquire a permanent location to house our fire truck and associated equipment and to serve as a training centre for both our fire brigade and first responders.
