Metchosin Volunteer
Fire Department Personnel page.

The Metchosin Volunteer Fire Department, is just that, a volunteer fire department. This is not to say the members take their jobs any less seriously than career departments. Rather that: where there's a job to be done, the tools to do it with, and a Volunteer to do it, the job will get done.

Our Firefighters spend thousands of hours a year in training and practical experience. They are highly trained through the Justice Institute of BC, like many other fire departments in this area, career and volunteer alike.

"As a volunteer, I get more out of this job, than I could ever put into it. The experiences, education and gratification that I continue to receive, is absolutely phenomenal." -- Chris "Boots" Orchard
