Huge congratulations to FF Wiley and FF Drever on officially earning their black helmets!

Completing probation and stepping up into the ranks is a massive milestone that represents countless hours of training, dedication, and hard work. The IAFF Local 1304 family couldn’t be prouder to see you both reach this next chapter in your careers.

Completing probation and earning that black helmet is a huge accomplishment, congratulations to FF Endicott.

The shift from the yellow probationary bucket to a black one is a well earned badge of experience, training and hard work. It’s also a great, breakdown of how helmet colors function on an emergency scene. Beyond tradition, having that instant visual readout of experience levels and roles, from yellow and black, to red for captains and white for chiefs. It is a vital tool for Incident Command when sizing up a task, giving out assignments, managing accountability, as well as maintaining fireground safety.

Here's to FF Endicott taking this next big step in his career, stay safe out there!

Not every call involves pulling hose or providing medical care. Yesterday A shift got to practice some ladder work on a slightly smaller, fluffier target. Feline retrieved, zero scratches reported. Great work by A shift!

Huge congratulations to Brother Mark Drever on successfully completing probationary period!

Mark has gone above and beyond during his first year with us, demonstrating an incredible work ethic and an unwavering dedication to the Firefighting and EMS profession. Around the hall, he’s quickly built a reputation for his relentless attention to detail and his commitment to leaving absolutely no task unfinished.

From countless hours of training and running calls to keeping the hall meticulously prepared to serve the Kitimat community, Mark has proven to be a massive asset to our team.

But his skills don't stop when the training wraps up, Mark has also made quite the name for himself as one of our absolute best chefs! Whichever shift is lucky enough to have him on for the night, the crew is always excited to see what new, delicious meals he has in store.

We are incredibly proud to officially welcome you to our ranks and the Local 1304 family. Congratulations, Mark!

The numbers are in!

Our Canada Day Fireworks and B**r Gardens were an absolute success, raising $14,375 for our union's charity, Ladder of Hope! This was our best year to date, and this money will go on to make a real difference in our community.

This event could not have happened without outstanding community support.

We would like to give a special shout-out to Bandstra for their continued support over the years, supplying us with equipment and other contributions year after year, completely free of charge. Our union deeply appreciates their partnership in our common mission to serve and better our community.

We would also like to thank for supplying us with kegs at a discounted price. Two Peaks regularly supports our fundraisers by donating both their time and money.

To all the volunteers, performers, city staff, and the RCMP who helped make this event such a success, Local 1304 extends a sincere thank you.

We can't wait for next year!

Our hearts are heavy today as we learn of the loss of three lives in the plane crash near Fort Simpson, Northwest Territories. Three of our wildfire family, taken from us while answering the call to protect others.

To our brothers and sisters in the Northwest Territories, we feel this loss with you. Every fire fighter, every pilot, every responder who has ever walked toward danger so someone else’s home could be safe understands what was given here. That courage, that willingness to show up when it matters most, is something we carry together across every border and every department.

The fire service is one family, and tonight that family stretches from British Columbia to the Northwest Territories, standing with you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with their loved ones and everyone affected by this tragedy.

PTSD isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a normal response to abnormal events.

Fire fighters carry the weight of what they see on every call, every shift, and every year of service. That weight doesn’t disappear when the boots come off, and it shouldn’t have to be carried alone.

This is why peer support matters. A teammate who’s been there, who understands without needing it explained, who checks in before you have to ask. That kind of support saves lives.

If you’re struggling, reach out. If someone you work with seems like they’re struggling, reach out first.

We look out for each other. That’s the job too.
