Volunteers

Fire Suppression

Members of each fire department, usually residents of the department's fire suppression area, have a good knowledge of the area and its residents. Their weekly training sessions ensure the best possible response time, knowledge of the most appropriate techniques for each situation and familiarization with the very specialized equipment required for firefighting and safety. They are members of the community with a will to improve their skills while protecting life and property.

Volunteers are always welcome.

Tuesday at 7 PM is Practice for most volunteer fire departments.  However, Falkland holds its Practices on Wednesday nights and Silver Creek holds its on Thursday nights.  If you are interested in volunteering or simply finding out more about your local fire department, please contact your area Fire Chief or the Columbia Shuswap Regional District.

Volunteers in Training

Shuswap Emergency Program (SEP)

Want to give back to your community, make a difference to people affected by disaster, develop new skills and meet new people?

As a volunteer with SEP you will be helping to make the Shuswap and area safer, stronger and better prepared for any future emergency or disaster incident.  

SEP
 volunteers and associated services assist their communities in many ways.  You can meet and greet, care for pets, learn about amateur radio, provide emotional support, run messages and much more.  It takes the efforts of many to ensure that, if an emergency occurs, there is someone to respond.

VOLUNTEERS are essential and often critical for the success of a community Emergency Program.   SEP is always looking for volunteers to assist in various capacities depending on experience and availability. 

If you are interested in becoming part of this team, please contact:
