The Town of Bay Roberts, Newfoundland and Labrador, is looking for new volunteer firefighters to join its local emergency team. Bay Roberts Fire Rescue opened the recruitment call on February 27, 2026, and will accept applications until the deadline on April 26, 2026, at 12:00 p.m.
Applicants must be at least 18 years old and hold a valid driver’s licence to be eligible for a position. No previous firefighting experience is required to apply, and the town has removed the requirement for volunteers to live within the municipal boundaries of Bay Roberts.
The 2026 municipal budget allocated $618,352 to protection and safety services to support local emergency response. These funds help the department manage a wide range of calls, including a recent event in January 2026 where firefighters assisted with an emergency home birth, for which they received community commendation in February.
The fire department has served the region for over 60 years and includes local leaders like Town Councillor Dean Franey, who also serves as a fire captain. Residents interested in the role can contact Greg Squires at the town office to learn more about the application process.
