Former Vancouver Fire Chief Karen Fry on Why Firefighting Is the Deadliest Job
Q: What led to Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services deciding not to respond to code red and code orange medical calls, and what impact has that had so far?
The department made the change after observing a surge in medical responses that strained crews, particularly at the busiest fire hall. By reallocating those calls, they aimed to preserve focus on structural fires while keeping ambulance flow smooth, and initial results have been positive with high relief among crews and improved overall efficiency.
BC's Construction Landscape with Bryan Reid
Q: What three big issues did you want to cover today?
Labor supply, approvals and permitting delays, and bottlenecks related to BC Hydro power supply, all of which significantly affect project timelines and feasibility.

Q: Tell me, you, Gary, how did you manage to sell 118 homes in 18 months?
The key was hard work, relentless pursuit of listings, and proactive outreach. I treated early listings as opportunities to establish credibility, calling at strategic times and placing myself on top of new brand listings to capture potential buyers quickly.
