New recruits always needed to help protect areas in regional district not supported by Prince George Fire Rescue
The seed was planted nearly four decades ago when her dad Bruce Perrin joined the department in Beaverly and his influence as the captain of the force made her want to sign up as soon as she reached the age of 18.
Volunteer fire departments are made up of men and women from all walks of life who have a desire to serve their community. The department trains volunteers how to fight fires safely and operate and maintain firefighting equipment. “We’re always in need of volunteers,” said Perrin manager of public safety for the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George. “The requirement on training set by the province of B.C. is not a light commitment and so it is a challenge to keep the rosters on those volunteer fire departments to a level where we need them to be."
“A house on fire out in Pineview is no different than a house on fire in Prince George - you still need the same physically fit people, as well knowledgeable and experienced people,” said Perrin.
