Back to Who We Are
I began my fire service career in 1981. In 1991, Jim started as a paid on call firefighter with Comox Fire Rescue, and in the year 2000 and was hired as a full-time Assistant Fire Chief. Among his qualifications are Fire Officer Four and Fire Inspector Level Three. Besides my operational duties, AC Lariviere is responsible for First Responder training, Public Education, Fire Inspections, Fire Engineering, etc.
Jim loves living here in beautiful Comox with his family.
