The Peace Island Fire Rescue Agency is an island-wide fire-and-rescue brigade jointly operated by the states of Oceana and Sylvania. The City Archipelago and Discovery Isle also lie within their area of responsibility. They have local stations in any settlement that does not have a fire brigade of its own or is not served by one nearby, typically staffing at least one medium duty pumper and one Type 2 ambulance at each facility. Emergencies on one of the outlying islands are usually handled by helicopter.
