A sunny Friday in Comox
What a beautiful day to get Ladder 35 out for some Friday morning training! Evolutions involved rescues from a 3rd storey window and 5th storey balcony using a spine board and basket. Meanwhile, Rescue 38 completed searches in our smoke filled START building.
Goodbye and good luck, Adam Auld!
Today we wave goodbye to Adam Auld, our most recent work experience firefighter. Adam joined us in November of last year in order to gain experience on calls and training. He hopes to be hired as a career firefighter. During his 4 months at CFR, Adam responded to 150 incidents and attended countless training and volunteer events. Adam, we wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavours!
Here are some highlights from Adam's time with us:
