Comox Fire members are the key to success.

Comox Fire Rescue is very lucky to have great equipment and training facilities, however, it’s membership of dedicated and hard-working people from a diverse background that makes it so strong. Comox currently has 57 members, including 7 female Firefighters.

"Our members spend a great deal of time training, responding to calls in addition to assisting with community events.” Fire Chief Gord Schreiner states. “These are great people to have in our community and are an important part of our team.”

Members spend approx 2 years being trained at Comox Fire Rescue to the NFPA 1001/2 standard. This includes training in Medical, Hazmat, Auto Extrication, Structural and Wildfire protection and many other areas of Fire Fighting.

“Our firefighters give so much of themselves and we work very hard everyday to ensure our firefighters are well-trained and have the latest information when it comes to safety.” says Schreiner.
