Tell us about your family Josh:

My wife Megan and I have a beautiful 6 year old girl, Keira.  Megan works for the Town of Comox, and I work as a siding contractor in the Comox Valley.

What are some of your hobbies?

If I’m not busy working, or studying for my Firefighting training, you can find me on my motorcycle.  I love exploring the backroads of Vancouver Island and meeting new people.  My wife and I also love traveling to Las Vegas, and hope we can return again soon.

Why did you want to join Comox Fire Rescue?

I love to challenge myself. I thought becoming a firefighter and helping my community was a great way to do that.  I’m enjoying the training, and look forward to the future here at Comox Fire Rescue.

“Josh has been a great addition to our team at Comox Fire Rescue.” says Fire Chief Gord Schreiner.  “It takes a great amount of time, dedication and commitment to become a firefighter by not only the member, but also their family.  

“Thanks so much for joining our team Josh, keep up the hard work.”
