Meet our Members: Scott Boyd

This week on "Meet our Members", we interview Firefighter Scott Boyd

CFR: Could you provide a brief background of your fire service career?

I have been in the Canadian Military for 25 years, and firefighter since 2013. A fellow member at CFB Comox highly recommended Comox Fire to me when we were on our DP2 course together in Borden. He was absolutely correct and I haven’t looked back.

CFR: What is your favourite part of working at Comox Fire Rescue?

The people, the professionalism, and the knowledge base along with SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) that just make sense.

CFR: Outside of the fire department, what are your interests/hobbies?

I’m a complete hobbyist. I also run the Brazilian Jiutitsu club on base, Mon/Wed/Fri 1730ish-1900. This is also open to non-military peoples. Consider this an advertisement ;)
