The Charlie Lake Fire Department (CLFD) is actively recruiting for 2024! If you are located within a 15 minute drive of Charlie Lake and looking for a challenging and rewarding opportunity to serve your community, we want to hear from you!

The CLFD recruits new firefighters once a year, with new recruits receiving six months of training under the new firefighter orientation program. Recruits then enter a probation period where they will receive training to the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 1001 Level 2 Standard. Once a recruit passes this training they are given a pager and accepted as a full-fledged firefighter. Currently, the department has about 24 firefighters trained to NFPA Level 2.

Learn more about what the CLFD does and the training program available for recruits here.

  • Share Hello, two others and I are potentially interested in joining the CLFD. Our questions are: Is there a place we can see the fitness standards test in order to meet/exceed before the intake? We have access to a gym and fire hose/equipment if that is required. As we have to keep up with our company's own fire training: Is there some flexibility in the attendance of the 75% nightly training? Some months we will be able to do more and some less. Thank you for your time and please let me know if you have any questions. Regards, Luke Coburn on Facebook Share Hello, two others and I are potentially interested in joining the CLFD.
