Partnering with Indigenous communities for safety
At JBones Welding, we are proud to partner with Indigenous communities across British Columbia to enhance fire safety through our custom-fabricated aluminum fire boxes. Designed with durability and functionality in mind, our fire boxes are placed at fire hydrants within First Nations communities throughout the province. These robust storage units provide secure, accessible housing for critical fire suppression equipment, so communities are better equipped to respond swiftly and effectively in the event of a fire.
Each fire box is crafted by our team to withstand the diverse conditions found across British Columbia, from coastal regions to the interior. By working closely with First Nations communities, we make sure our fire boxes meet the specific needs of each location. Our work helps limit exposures during fire emergencies and gives communities reliable tools to protect their homes, lands and people. We are honoured to play a role in strengthening the safety and well-being of Indigenous communities throughout the province.

How a project works
- Talk to us. Share the number of hydrants, the locations and the equipment each box should hold.
- Design and quote. We confirm sizes, layout and delivery logistics, then send a quote.
- Build. Boxes are fabricated in our Aldergrove shop by certified welders.
- Deliver and install. Our crew trucks them in and sets each box on its base, from coastal communities to the interior.
