Westlock County Volunteer Firefighter Recruitment
The BVFD is looking for new members to join our volunteer team. We need members to respond to a variety of incidents and assist in any way possible. Medical, fire, and traffic incidents occur at any time and we need dedicated members to help enhance our team.
Training is provided and certificate courses are also hosted regulariy.
Please visit the hall during a training night (Thursdays @ 7:30 pm) or visit the county website.
Being a Volunteer Firefighter calls for commitment and means:
Answering calls for assistance 24 hours/day, 365 days/year - even if it’s –20 degrees or +110
Missing some personal or family events - fires, acidents, and illnesses don’t honor holidays
Seeing and hearing things that you wish you could forget - but know you never will
Risking your life for people you’ll never see again - and not asking for thanks
Wondering if all the training is worthwhile - until you save a life or a home
Praying that you’ll make the right life and death decisions under pressure - and finding that you did with the help of fellow volunteers
Hoping that someone will step up and take your place when you step down
-the lives and property of family, friends, and the community depend upon volunteer firefighters
