2013 Activity Sheets / Schedule

Over the years, the fire service has evolved into a public safety agency providing highly technical and diverse services.  The general public has come to rely on the Fire Department as the “first responder” not only when life and property are threatened by man made and natural disasters, but for seemingly smaller problems as well.

To ensure that all members of the Fire Department are prepared to deliver the best level of services required, training standards have been developed to provide each member with the needed skills, knowledge, and abilities necessary to deliver fire and emergency services to the citizens of the municipality.

Training occurs every Thursday night (with the exception of holidays), from 19:00 to 22:00 hours. A minimum of 75% attendance rate is required at regular training nights by all volunteer firefighters. Additional on-site training is also offered throughout the year which includes but is not limited to first aid, pump operations and specialized rescue operations. Firefighters are also encouraged to participate in off-site courses such as those offered by the JIBC and other training organizations.

Module Training – Tuesday Evenings

To meet the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), The Metchosin Fire Department trains to the NFPA 1001, Firefighter Level II Curriculum as directed by the Justice Institute of British Columbia. This format of training involves a great deal of reading and self-directed learning on the part of the firefighter. Firefighters must complete knowledge and performance based testing to complete the requirements of a general level firefighter within a 5-year time period. Upon completion the firefighter will be certified (NFPA 1001) Firefighter Level II with the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress and ProBoard.
