Red Deer County recruiting volunteer firefighters

Red Deer County has released a new video as part of their ongoing volunteer firefighter recruitment drive.

The video produced by Michael Saby Media showcases the many skills that firefighters can bring from their regular jobs that transfer to the world of firefighting. From hands-on skills such as mechanical know how, to organizational skills such as project management and leadership, volunteer firefighters can apply their strengths to a variety of situations.

The volunteer recruitment drive began in mid-September, with the goal of increasing the capacity of the 5 stations located throughout the County. Red Deer County is encouraging people from all walks of life who are interested in learning more to contact County Fire Services. Director of Community and

Protective Services Dave Brand commented, “The recruitment video shows just how valuable it is that our members have diverse backgrounds. When the call comes, everyone on our team brings a unique perspective based on their skills, hobbies and career experience.”
