Meet our Members: Thor Nybo
This week on "Meet our Members", we interview new Recruit Thor Nybo.
Was there a specific event or reason for you to be interested in becoming a firefighter?
As a kid I always looked up to our family friends who were firefighters. I want to be the person I looked up to as a kid.
Tell us a bit about your family
I’m blessed with a great family. One older sister, a twin sister, and two supportive parents! My family loves to travel. When I was younger, we spent close to two years living in Hawaii.
What is your regular “Day Job?
I’m currently a student graduating in June 2024.
Tell us about your passion in life.
My passion is helping people, weight lifting, reading philosophy, and anything involving bettering myself, really.
Tell us about the most amazing thing you have experienced so far in life.
The most amazing thing I’ve experienced so far, was being a leader for Sonz Youth in North Carolina. I was asked to help guide young boys through a right-of-passage out in the wilderness.
Do you have any fire service goals?
I would like to be a career fire fighter in Vancouver.
“Welcome to our team Thor.” says Comox Fire Rescue Chief, Gord Schreiner. “We look forward to working and training with you as you start your fire service career.”
