The Williams Lake Fire Department is recruiting new paid on-call firefighters.
They’re looking for motivated, physically fit individuals over the age of 19 that reside within the Williams Lake Fire Protection District, who are interested in serving their community while developing valuable emergency response and teamwork skills.
Two information sessions will be held next month at the Williams Lake Fire Hall, Tuesday March 3 and Tuesday March 10 both beginning at 7:30 pm.
The sessions will provide an overview of what is required to become a paid on-call firefighter and offer an opportunity to speak directly with department members.
“We encourage anyone who wants to learn more about firefighting to come out, ask questions, and see if this is the right fit for them,” Deputy Fire Chief Brendan Foote said.
Additional recruitment resources are available at the City of Williams Lake website or in person at the fire hall located at 230 Hodgson Road.
“Paid on-call firefighting offers a unique opportunity to challenge yourself, learn new skills and be a part of a close-knit team that plays a critical role in keeping our community safe,” Foote said.
Applications are open until March 13.
