Members of North Westside Fire Rescue are kicking off the new year by welcoming their neighbours!
They’d like you to join them at an Open House, Tuesday, January 21 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. The doors to Station 101 in Killiney Beach (514 Udell Road) will be wide open for residents to stop by in this family-friendly event!
Meet your firefighters and check out the equipment including the new Bush/Rescue truck. You can even try your hand at some firefighting skills with the hands-on equipment demonstrations. And North Westside dog owners will also be able to purchase a new license or renew their existing tag for 2020 and save $20 off the regular annual rates!
This is a great opportunity to learn more about what your firefighters do and the commitment and training involved. Recruiting information will be available for residents who’d like to join the paid-on-call department.
Anyone interested in becoming a paid-on-call North Westside firefighter should call 250-545-1195 and leave their name, phone number and email address. Potential recruits will be contacted. Applications and recruitment information is also available for downloading and printing on the RDCO website .
Training will be provided for successful applicants during the department’s regular evening or weekend sessions.
