Black Helmets await for Recruits in training.

Four recruits of Comox Fire Rescue are nearing completion of their NFPA 1001/2 training after over a year of training.  Once completed, they are rewarded with black turn-out PPE and a black helmet, which is theirs to keep forever.

“It takes a large amount of dedication and commitment and training to become a firefighter.” states Comox Fire Chief Gord Schreiner. “These great members have worked very hard over the last year, in addition to responding to incidents of all kinds.”

Katherine Braaten, Delaney Carr, Elie Dewulf and Trevor Molloy joined in Spring of 2019. The group is currently working very hard on the Interior Firefighting portion of their training.

“Completing the 1001 Playbook program takes dedication and commitment to training and the organization.” says Rick Shelton, Assistant Chief Of Operations and Training.

Comox Fire Rescue is a certified JIBC facility and trains and certifies all our members in house.

 “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.”
