Surrey Fire is the best place for Women in Firefighting

Surrey Fire is looking to recruit the best women firefighters

Women in Firefighting Workshop - See more at: http://www.surrey.ca/culture-recreation/22855.aspx Surrey Fire Service is hosting one-day workshops to provide participants with an overview of the opportunities and culture of a fire service career. A review of the various steps of the recruitment process will be discussed and participants will be given an opportunity to receive tips from fire service fitness instructors. The physical skills of firefighters will be discussed and... participants can experience these skills themselves. Participants will have the opportunity to meet with experienced female firefighters from the Surrey Fire Service. Each workshop will be from 8:30am to 4:30pm. Lunch will be provided. Workshops will be held on: June 17 July 15 - See more at: http://www.surrey.ca/culture-recreation/22855.aspx

Yesterday, along with one of our media partners, VF&RS demonstrated how quickly an errant cigarette could ignite the dry vegetation that is everywhere in Vancou...ver right now. It took no more than a lit cigarette tossed into dry grass to almost instantly start a fire. Not only was the fire almost instant, but the rate at which it spread was astonishing: in just under a minute, the fire had spread over 4 meters and was gaining momentum as the leading edge grew in size. Before tossing a cigarette or using something with a hot exhaust (pressure washer, generator), consider how quickly a fire could spread, and what structures or green spaces might be adjacent. A fire in a planter might not seem like a big issue, but it could quickly involve a fence, house or other combustible structure. Consider too the resources that need to be committed to completely preventable fires; resources that could be pulled away from critical medial incidents or other life saving interventions. It will take all partners within our community to prevent brush- and wildfires. Please do your part and help us keep Vancouver safe and green. See more

Thank you Valley View for collecting Toys for our Adopt a Family event at YMCA this Sunday.

Everyone should be recycling those older and non-functioning smoke alarms.
