Would you like to be part of a dynamic, fast-paced, award-winning local government organization while you gain that experience? If so, have we got the opportunity for you!

Langford Fire Rescue is currently accepting applications for our Paid-on-Call (POC) Firefighter program.

As a POC Firefighter you will service the City of Langford and our residents and visitors by working alongside our career Firefighters at emergency incidents. You will be required to complete twelve-hour shifts at the fire station at least three times per month.

We pride ourselves not only in our responsibility to our community’s safety, but also the welfare of those within and beyond our city limits. We provide a broad range of services including fire suppression, fire prevention and education, emergency first responder, and both high angle rope and water rescue. As a full-service fire department, this is your chance to get your feet wet attending a large variety of calls and to get dedicated time to focus on increasing your skills.

Still not convinced? Our department is growing! To meet the needs of our expanding community, the City anticipates the addition of several career firefighter positions in the future. Joining our POC Firefighter program is a great way to get your foot in the door, one step closer to that career position you’ve been dreaming of.
