Graduation Night at Comox Fire!

Comox Fire Rescue celebrated the graduation of 7 members completing their NFPA 1001/2 certifictation November 5th.

This class of fire fighters started in May of 2018 and have put in countless hours of training, studying and teamwork to get to this moment.  Members were presented with their black helmets and black turnout gear, which signify the level of ‘Firefighter’ by completing their training.

“As an organization we are so very proud of every member to complete this level of training. It takes a great deal of dedication and commitment to become a firefighter.” states Comox Fire Chief Gord Schreiner.  “All of these great people have been a wonderful addition to the department and will continue to train and learn in new positions as firefighters moving forward.”

Comox Fire Rescue currently has over 40 NFPA 1001/2 trained firefighters and 10 more working towards certification. 

“We are very fortunate to be able to provide the certification at Comox Fire for our members.  The Officers and instructors work very hard to provide great training for all our members.” says Schreiner. “It is people like this that makes our organization so strong.”

 Thanks to all of you for your hard work!
