Chilliwack – The Chilliwack Fire Department is now accepting applications for the 2025–2026 Paid On-Call (POC) Firefighter Recruit Training Program. POC firefighters are dedicated residents of Chilliwack who respond to emergencies 24/7 when paged. They are paid an hourly wage for emergency responses and for attending weekly Monday night training sessions.
As a POC firefighter, you’ll do much more than fight fires. You’ll respond to medical emergencies, environmental incidents, gas leaks, and a wide range of rescue situations. Most importantly, you’ll serve as a trusted leader and partner in safeguarding the community.
If you’re motivated, community-minded, and physically fit, you may be an ideal candidate for this rewarding role.
