Comox Fire Rescue

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.

 Could you provide a brief background of your fire service career?

I joined the Comox Fire Rescue in June 2018. I will be releasing from the military soon, and I was looking for a new challenge in my life. Each day and training is teaching me new skills.

What is your favourite part of volunteering for Comox Fire Rescue?

I like the team spirit that is here at Comox Fire Rescue and I want to serve my community more.

Outside of the fire department, what are your interests/hobbies?

I enjoy running, Crossfit, back country hiking and cooking ~ just to name a few of my hobbies.

If you could change one thing about the fire service, what would it be?

I haven't been with the fire service long enough to comment on changes, but I wish I lived closer to the hall :)


Chief Schreiner states, "Thanks so much for joining and being a part of our team Caroline. It’s members like you that make our department better and our community safer. Keep up the hard work.”
