County launches volunteer firefighter recruitment drive
Red Deer County has launched a new campaign aimed at recruiting volunteer firefighters.
Red Deer County Fire Services operates in the communities of Bowden, Delburne, Elnora, Red Deer South and North (immediately outside the city of Red Deer), as well as Spruce View and Springbrook.
County officials say volunteers are generally matched with the station closest to their homes.
Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age, have a class 5 driver’s license and be able to pass a physical fitness test.
