Meet our Members - Josh Tadeson

This week on Meet our Members, we chat with Recruit Josh Tadeson.

Josh joined Comox Fire Rescue in July of 2020, and has recently completed his First Responder (FR3) training, and is now beginning the Exterior Firefighting program of his NFPA 1001/2 certification.

Tell us about your family Josh:

My wife Megan and I have a beautiful 6 year old girl, Keira.  Megan works for the Town of Comox, and I work as a siding contractor in the Comox Valley.

What are some of your hobbies?

If I’m not busy working, or studying for my Firefighting training, you can find me on my motorcycle.  I love exploring the backroads of Vancouver Island and meeting new people.  My wife and I also love traveling to Las Vegas, and hope we can return again soon.

Why did you want to join Comox Fire Rescue?

I love to challenge myself. I thought becoming a firefighter and helping my community was a great way to do that.  I’m enjoying the training, and look forward to the future here at Comox Fire Rescue.

“Josh has been a great addition to our team at Comox Fire Rescue.” says Fire Chief Gord Schreiner.  “It takes a great amount of time, dedication and commitment to become a firefighter by not only the member, but also their family.  

“Thanks so much for joining our team Josh, keep up the hard work.”
