Recruitment for the 2025 season has closed. However, if you're interested in joining the Charlie Lake Fire Department (CLFD), add your name to the application list for 2026!

The CLFD recruits volunteers annually. If you live within a 15-minute drive of Charlie Lake and are looking for a challenging and rewarding opportunity to serve your community, we want to hear from you.

New recruits undergo six months of training through our orientation program, followed by a probation period focusing on NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 1001 Level 2 Standard training. Upon successful completion, recruits become full-fledged firefighters, joining our team of approximately 24 NFPA Level 2 trained members.
