How many Fire Fighters do we
have?
While the CBVFR currently has
approx. 35 Volunteers, the CBVFR has been fortunate enough to
have had over 500 community members volunteer their time over
the past 73 plus years.
How many calls do we attend?
The call volume of the CBVFR
has fluctuated greatly over the years. Currently the CBVFR is
responding to an average of 175 calls (one call out every two
days) a year for emergency services. Accurate records only
date back to 1980, but at the time of the current fire hall
replacement the CBVFR was responding to an average of 38 calls
a year. The highest recorded year on record is 291 calls. All
these incidents are staffed entirely by volunteers who give
their personal time to serve our community. This is combined
with 50 schedule training sessions, 50 scheduled maintenance
sessions and countless additional training sessions, community
service activities, charity events etc.
