The City of Charlottetown Fire Department has officially launched its 2024 volunteer firefighter recruitment campaign.
Residents over the age of 19 have the opportunity to make an impact in their community and join the tight-knit, dedicated team of firefighters responsible for fire safety and emergency preparedness in Charlottetown. All volunteer firefighters learn valuable skills which can be transferred to their professional and personal lives and receive training, leadership development skills, insurance coverage and annual honorariums.
The City’s two fire stations include firefighters who perform various duties, including fire rescue, firefighting, operation and maintenance of vehicles and equipment and assist with fire prevention and educational programs for the public.
Free public information sessions will be held on
Monday, Aug. 26 and Monday, Oct. 7 at 6 p.m. at Fire Station One for members of the public wishing to learn more.
Application packages can be picked up anytime from Monday to Friday at Charlottetown Fire Station One at 89 Kent St. or at Station Two at 152 St. Peters Rd. between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on weekends.
The deadline for completed applications is Friday, Oct. 18, 2024.
