Volunteers

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. The following volunteer fire departments have their own websites. Please click on the name of the fire department to open their websites in a new window.         Ranchero/Deep Creek                    Tappen/Sunnybrae
