It appears the recruit class keeps getting bigger and bigger. Last week we welcomed aboard Kirby. She is from the Station 2 area so as you all know, members in this area are hard to come by, so we have taken her on immediately. Also Vince will now be attending calls - you may have already seen him on two or three. He has 17 years experience in fire departments as well as being employeed as a paramedic with BC Ambulance. Take a moment to introduce yourself. Almost all of the recruit class managed to attend training this past Saturday to receive extra time in their SCBA units. This will undoubtably assist them as they progress through their training and will likely be only the first of a few sessions where they can get used to having this strapped to their back. We are still looking for members to assist on Wednesday nights with the recruit training. All you need to do is show up. With such a large class, all the help we can get is much appreciated.
Things are a little crowded in the station right now with all of the new recruits trying to find a spot to hang their gear. I will be constructing additional turn out gear lockers when time permits so please be patient. Cam is almost finished with the painting of the lockers for the ladies change room. This will provide a little additional floor space in the near future.
