Are you comfortable in small spaces? Do you thrive under stress and have a passion for public service? 

You might be an ideal candidate to serve as an on-call firefighter.

The Campbell River Fire Department is now accepting applications for the 2024 Paid-on-Call Firefighter Training Program.

The department is urging those interested to attend its information session on Sept. 10 at 6:30 p.m. at the Sportsplex, which is located at 1800 South Alder Street. The session is free to attend.

Attendees will be provided an overview of the paid-on-call recruitment process, training program, time commitments and expectations, services provided by the fire department, and an overview of this potentially rewarding service oriented career.

To register for the session, email toni.falk@campbellriver.ca. The deadline to apply is Sept. 18 at 4 p.m.
