BECOME A MEMBER

Volunteers don’t need any experience to join but they do need to be physically fit and have a desire to learn. Ask any of the firefighters who volunteers on the EVFD and they will tell you the job is incredibly rewarding.

The Errington department is part of the First Responder Program which dispatches an emergency fire vehicle and trained personnel to an accident scene.  The volunteer firefighters provide life support until B.C. Ambulance personnel arrive.

Once a member completes all necessary training they will acquire a NFPA 1001 certificate and be awarded with a yellow helmet.

There are many benefits to joining.  The department pays for all training including out of town courses.  For each call a firefighter attends; there is a clothing and gas allowance. An added bonus is the department provides life and disability insurance to its firefighters. Health and dental also available to members who meet department minimum standards.
