Captain Dave Evans completes his final shift with Whistler Fire Rescue Service after an incredible 31-year career.
From joining as a volunteer in 1995 to becoming a respected Captain, technical rope rescue specialist, and dedicated mentor, Dave has left a lasting legacy through his leadership, expertise, and calm professionalism on every call. His passion for training the next generation through the Junior Firefighter Program will continue to shape our department for years to come.
Beyond the fire hall, Dave’s adventurous spirit and love for the mountains have inspired us all.
Thank you, Dave, for your outstanding service, mentorship, and friendship. Wishing you and your family endless adventures, good health, and joy in this next chapter!
Congratulations, Captain Evans! 🧯🚒❤️

This week marks CMHA Mental Health Week, with the 2026 theme Come Together, Canada.
Here in Whistler, we know what it means to lean on each other — whether it’s on the mountain, in the hall, or on a tough call. Firefighters carry the weight of what we see on the job: the hard days, the close calls, and the moments that stay with you long after the siren stops.
But we don’t carry it alone. Our strength comes from the crew around us, the shared trust, and the quiet understanding that it’s okay to not be okay.
This week, let’s make “Come Together” more than just a theme. Reach out to your brothers and sisters. Check in on the ones who seem fine, and the ones who don’t. A quick conversation in the bay, a coffee after shift, or a honest “how you doing?” can change everything.
We show up for our community every day. Let’s make sure we show up for each other too.
You’re part of the Whistler Fire family — and we’ve got your back. 💙

Day 1 of our Annual Junior Firefighter Program is in the books 🔥👨🚒
We welcomed 12 incredible Grade 12 students to Whistler Fire Rescue for an intensive 3-day introduction to the world of firefighting. From classroom sessions to hands-on training, these future first responders are already crushing it — including some vehicle extrication practice today!
Huge shoutout to our dedicated instructors and these motivated young leaders for showing up with energy, focus, and big smiles. The future of firefighting in Whistler is looking bright!
Can’t wait for Days 2 & 3 🚒
