RECRUITING - Firefighter Friday #2

The Fire Service is often a family affair, with many of our current volunteers coming up through the ranks following their parents, siblings, cousins and aunts/uncles.

Today we highlight "Volunteer Firefighting - it may not be in your blood, but it is in ours" which highlights some of our generational connections.

Our Volunteer Firefighters come from all walks of life, maybe it's time to explore joining up and adding a new wardrobe to your collection.

TRAINING - Fire: Fall 2026

The last few weeks have been quite busy for Firefighters and Staff across the County of Vermilion River, as crews took the time to sharpen their skill sets.

In September, we sent Firefighters to advanced training in Engine Company Fundamentals (a leadership style course) as well as NFPA 1033 Fire Investigation, a designation important for determining the cause of fires in our region.

With Fire Prevention Week last week, Firefighters returned to regional training last night in Islay, with a lecture from Canadian National Railway Company (CN Rail) on proper response to railway emergencies and incidents. Thank you to Sean Johnston (Dangerous Goods Officer - CN) for attending and presenting.

With cooler temperatures upon us now, and the potential for adverse and winter weather, road conditions may deteriorate quickly.
