The volunteer count dropped from 10 in February 2024 to none in June 2024

The Terrace Fire Department has lost all its volunteers following increased provincial safety and training requirements.

The department's goal is to maintain a roster of 15 active paid on-call firefighters, a count the chief hopes to achieve by conducting open houses in the city including at the farmers market. "This process is neither easy nor quick, and it takes time before new recruits can bolster our incident operations. Upon completion, these paid on-call firefighters are fully certified," Cooper said.
