Prevention, Emergency Response, and the Comox Fire Training Centre
Comox Fire Rescue provides a variety of preventive and emergency services to a population of over 18,000 in an area of 16 square miles. This includes the Town of Comox, the Comox Fire Protection Improvement District, the Bates Huband Local Service Area (Regional District of Comox-Strathcona), and the Comox Indian Band. They also operate the Comox Fire Training Centre, which trains firefighters from all over Vancouver Island, and even parts of BC and the rest of Canada. The training centre is certified by the JIBC.
Comox Fire Rescue is welcoming on 9 new members to our team! The new group came out last Sunday to run through our entrance physical and skills exam consisting of the Code-3 Grind, 65' ladder climb, blackout mask challenge, and more. Our future looks bright as we add this great new team to our department! A big thank you to all our members who helped out last Sunday.
