The Dauphin Fire Department is looking for new volunteer firefighters to join its team in Dauphin, Manitoba. The department operates using a “paid-call” system, which means members are trained to professional standards and receive pay for each emergency they attend rather than being full-time employees.
This recruitment effort is intended to help the department reach its target of 36 front-line firefighters. These members are responsible for protecting an area of about 1,036 square kilometres, covering both the city and the surrounding rural municipality.
Fire Chief Cameron D. A. Abrey leads the crew, which handles a variety of emergency calls including house fires, car accidents, and water rescues. The department has a long history in the community, having first been established as an organized group in 1901.
Residents who want to apply or learn more about the role can visit the fire station in person. The department can also be reached by calling 204-622-3100 or by sending an email to [email protected].
The City of Dauphin manages the fire service with additional support from the Dauphin Firefighter’s Association. This association helps fund equipment and works to preserve local history by fixing up antique firefighting gear.
