How Do I Find A Job?

Where would I work?

  • Firefighters are mainly employed by municipal and district fire departments

You must apply to individual cities or districts as a potential candidate, and are selected as part of a recruitment process.

BC Fire Departments:

Networking, Volunteering and Temporary Agencies

Networking or working as a volunteer are good ways of helping you find jobs and meet people in your industry.

Networking and the Hidden Job Market:

When looking for work, be sure to talk to friends, relatives and neighbours. They may know someone who is hiring! Working as a volunteer, attending events, and joining clubs and associations are good ways to gain “Canadian experience.” They are also good ways to meet people to learn about the local job market.
