Courtesy of the Cariboo Regional District:
As a result of a successful recruitment campaign, the Cariboo Regional District’s Lone Butte Volunteer Fire Department (VFD) is no longer in danger of closing its doors.
Prior to the campaign, the department had 12 active members. Since October 23, a total of 30 applications have been handed out with 13 completed applications being received by the local Fire Chief Jaret Scott.
Congratulations to the Lone Butte Community Association who played an integral role in this recruitment process by undertaking an intensive telephone campaign on behalf of the Fire Department.
Although this is good news for the Lone Butte VFD, recruitment and retention are ongoing challenges for many departments. If you are interested in becoming a Lone Butte volunteer firefighter, contact Chief Jaret Scott at 250-395-6665. All CRD volunteer fire departments are always looking for new volunteers to join the ranks. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact your local volunteer fire department Chief for further details.
