Meet our Members: Recruit Kianna Csolle

This week on "Meet our Members", we chat with new Recruit Kianna Csolle.

Was there a specific event or reason for you to be interested in becoming a firefighter and/or join Comox Fire Rescue?

One of the members of Comox Fire Rescue helped me look for my keys that I lost while walking my dog. I mentioned I had recently moved to the area and was still looking for ways to get connected. He suggested I join Comox Fire Rescue as my experience as a paramedic would be useful.

Tell us a bit about your family.

I am the oldest of 3 kids and have a younger brother and sister. When I am with my siblings you instantly know we are related! I have an American Hairless Terrier puppy (yep that’s right, a fur baby without fur!) He is a hilarious little monster who loves to cuddle at the end of the day!

What is your regular “Day Job?

I work part-time as a Paramedic and as a Behaviour Consultant.

Tell us about your passion in life.

I have a passion for helping others and want to make a difference in my community.

“Thank you joining our team at Comox Fire Rescue Kianna.” says Comox Fire Rescue Chief, Gord Schreiner.  “We look forward to training and working with you.”

Tell us about the most amazing thing you have experienced so far in life.

Swimming in the Indian Ocean at night with bioluminescence. Every time moved it was like little green fireworks exploded in the water

Do you have any fire service goals? - if so what?

Saving a pet, and maybe one day driving a fire truck!
