Despite over 2,000 applicants, service says it only needs about 200 to fill out its team

The BC Wildfire Service has received a tripling of interest in firefighting positions ahead of what is expected to be another difficult season, but the surge in applications doesn’t mean it will be hiring more people than in past years.

Despite their push to increase recruitment, though, BC Wildfire isn’t actually looking to up its number of firefighting positions. “So our surge capacity is quite large, but it is dependent on those outside resources,” Tower said. “It works well right now. I think where there can be problems is just if everybody is asking for resources.”
