About the CLFD

The Charlie Lake Fire Department (CLFD) is run by the Peace River Regional District. This department has a full-time fire chief and deputy chief and about 30 volunteer firefighters operating out of one fire hall. Full-time staff are at the hall from 8:30am to 4:30pm Monday to Friday.

The CLFD trains firefighters to the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 1001 Level 2 Standard. As of April 2023, the department has 24 firefighters trained at that level. The CLFD recruits new firefighters once a year.
