Wilson’s Landing Fire Dept. recruiting now

Oct 13, 2026 | 11:02 AM

This last wildfire season was another reminder about having good, strong, local fire departments and Wilson’s Landing is no different.

They’re looking for applicants to serve their neighbours, and respond when help is needed.

Applicants must be between the ages of 19 and 65, be in good physical condition, and complete a criminal record check.

Paid-on-call firefighters support their community through wildfire and structure fire response, medical first response and other emergencies. Members gain practical skills, grow through training and build lasting connections with teammates and neighbours. Recruits will also receive training as emergency medical assistants, as Wilson’s Landing serves as a medical-first response station alongside its firefighting operations.

Interested community members can apply online and visit the Wilson’s Landing Fire Department on Tuesday, Oct. 20, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. to speak with firefighters in person and ask questions.

Established in 1984, the Wilson’s Landing Fire Department serves the community along Westside Road from Trader’s Cove to Shelter Cove.
