Meet our Members - Joey Moores

This week on Meet our Members, we chat with Firefighter Joey Moores, who original joined Comox Fire Rescue in 2018.

What made you want to join Comox Fire Rescue?

I joined Comox Fire Rescue after my senior year of high school in 2018. I had done the Youth Camp which takes high school students from around the Comox Valley and shows them some of the skills you learn as a firefighter. After that I knew I wanted to continue learning and working to become a Firefighter. I joined the department and trained to get my NFPA 1001/2 through Comox Fire Rescue. I was able to join the Canadian forces as a Firefighter and ended up getting posted back home to CFB Comox. I'm excited to be back on the Comox Fire Rescue team.

What is your favourite part of being at Comox Fire Rescue?

My favourite part of being a firefighter at CFR is the team environment. I love working together to achieve a common goal and to work and train through different problems and scenarios. Everyone on the team works hard to get the job done. Growing up playing sports I very much enjoy that aspect of it!

What are your hobbies?

My interests outside the fire department are playing sports, hiking, backpacking, fishing and anything outside and in nature. There's many different activities I want to try and learn.

I love living and exploring the valley and the island in general!

What is your Fire Service goal?

Being a member at Comox Fire Rescue has added to my life by meeting new and like minded people that share the same passion for the fire service. Everytime I go to a practice or a call I learn something new and I'm able to implement it into my everyday life.

“Comox Fire Rescue is very fortunate to have Joey posted to CFB Comox” says Fire Chief Gord Schreiner. “It’s members like Joey that make our department so great. Welcome back Joey and we look forward to working and training with you.”
