Interested recruits must also register to attend an information session. The next session will be held on July 10 at 7 p.m. at the Caledon East Community Complex. Volunteer firefighters in Caledon respond to both emergency and non-emergency situations, such as medical emergencies, vehicle rescue calls, alarm activations and investigations, and other public calls that require assistance.  Volunteer firefighters are paid for their time out on calls.  Caledon's Fire Chief, Dave Pelayo, said being a volunteer firefighter turns regular people into everyday heroes.  “Caledon's volunteer firefighters join a team of dedicated individuals who come from all sorts of backgrounds but have one thing in common: a commitment to helping keep their community safe,” said Pelayo. “If you're curious about your future as a volunteer firefighter, please attend an information session.” Those interested in applying to be a volunteer firefighter must do so by July 14 — more information is available online at caledon.ca/fire-recruitment. --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2024-07-04 11:32:45 Post date GMT: 2024-07-04 15:32:45 Post modified date: 2024-07-04 11:32:47 Post modified date GMT: 2024-07-04 15:32:47 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
