Volunteer Firefighter Recruitment Now Open

The City of Greater Sudbury is now accepting applications for volunteer firefighters. We are seeking dedicated team players in good mental and physical health to join our team. 

Recruitment for 2024 will close April 15, at 11:59 p.m. Applications are accepted year-round, so any received after that date will be considered for 2025 recruitment.

People interested in becoming a volunteer firefighter are also encouraged to attend one of four open houses to gain insight into the role. They will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. These sessions will allow individuals to ask questions, interact with current firefighters and learn firsthand about the responsibilities and experiences associated with firefighting.
