ATTENTION VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS ….. please share your numbers in the comments.

HAVE YOU HEARD PEOPLE SAY - “they are just volunteers” ? The fact is that approximately 74% of firefighters in North America are Volunteer.

Volunteers that work mostly full time at a regular job in a wide variety of careers. They respond at all hours of the day & night, 7 days a week, they don’t get days off and they respond whenever the pager goes off.

They save citizens hundreds of thousands in tax dollars, they ensure that they always have the best possible insurance rating certification and they do all this for ZERO DOLLARS in a very large number of departments across North America

Just wanted to share this, so people get a chance to chew on this interesting info for a bit. As a past first responder firefighter, I’m so very thankful to see people continually stepping into these volunteer roles
Even with all the complex issues of life today.

Friday night Fire Victoria, BC

Victoria fire rescue received a call at 1839 Friday night while most of the platoon were sitting down to eat. they were DISPATCHED to residential structure fire near warren gardens in the Rockland area of Victoria.

Battalion one, engine one, ladder one, engine two, squad two, and engine three

A decision was made to quickly deploy an aerial monitor on the 110 foot platform. Thanks to effective positioning of the apparatus and the volume of water directed through hood positioning was very effective in fighting this structure fire.

It was clear that the fire was seated in the void area of the roof and a 2 1/2 inch hose was used to suppress the fire until it was safe for crews to enter the structure. At that point the fire was extinguished

Victoria fire inspectors were called in to investigate the space and determine the cause. Lastly, a fire watch crew was assigned to the location overnight.

Thankfully no one was injured and our hearts go out to the homeowners that were affected by this incident. Article information and photos courtesy of Victoria fire department official instagram page.
