Q: How did you hear about the firefighting opportunity?

Q: If you could give one piece of advice to anyone thinking of applying to the fire department based on your experience here, what would it be?
A: "You don’t have to be perfect—you just have to be willing to learn and keep showing up. Pay attention, do your part, and don’t cut corners. The job will test you, so stay steady, take care of yourself, and be someone others can trust".

Q: When your pager goes off at 3am, what is it that inspires you to respond to the fire hall?
A: “Adrenaline kicks in, and so does purpose—you know someone needs help, so you get up and go without thinking twice”.

Q: What is a moment while Firefighting, either training or emergencies that stands out to you?
A: “The morale at our hall is really strong—it’s a close-knit crew that works well together and genuinely likes being around each other. Everyone checks in on each other and builds each other’s confidence, and it’s a very supportive environment. I feel very lucky and honoured to be apart of it”.

Q: What two things would you grab if your house were on fire?
A: "My pets and childhood stuffed animal".
