Colwood Fire Rescue is looking for more paid on-call firefighters to join its roster of about 40 dedicated and experienced crew.
Paid on-call firefighters receive compensation when they attend a scheduled 12-hour night shift, an emergency call out, or in-person training outside of regular night shift training. They are provided opportunities for casual firefighter employment, and may apply for internal career firefighter positions that may come up.
Potential candidates who receive a conditional offer will be invited to complete a four-week orientation training and three night shift ride-alongs. Once accepted, firefighters take part in regular training and can access opportunities for professional development.
