Auxiliary Fire Fighters

The Fernie Fire and Emergency Services department is seeking men and women of all ages to be part of our auxiliary Fernie Fire Rescue Team. 

Auxiliary Fire Fighter

As an auxiliary firefighter, you'll play an important role in providing a timely response to emergency situations, so we'll invest a great deal in your training and personal protection.  If you are physically fit, enjoy learning new and valuable life skills, and want to be part of a highly skilled and dynamic emergency response team we want you on our team!

Auxiliary Support

In addition, we are looking for auxiliary support volunteers to assist our Fire and Emergency Services team. These positions play a critical supporting role in any emergency, but do not actively fight fires.  Your responsibilities will include cleaning and rolling hose, filling air bottles, cleaning fire apparatus and equipment, and assisting with public education.
