We are looking for volunteers with valid chainsaw tickets (FWPCOT2254 Maintain Chainsaws and FWPCOT2273 Trim and cut felled trees preferred). Chainsaw tickets are mandatory and correct chainsaw PPE must be worn at all times.

If you don't hold a valid ticket and wish to volunteer, please enquire as we may be able to find jobs for you! Other equipment that may assist includes:
- Skid steer
- Bobcat with tracks
- Mini skid excavator
- Rakes, shovels, etc
Tasks may include:
- General site clean up
- Removal of debris and damaged materials
- Assistance with property recovery tasks
- Supporting families as directed on the day
We are also looking for IBC Food grade totes to assist the local community with water access. If you have any to donate and assist, please let us know.

Any club member who is looking to volunteer at other fire locations, please contact the office and we can put you in touch with the needed people and groups.

A big thank you to MJOC and TLCCV who already put in 120 hours over the last few days helping our local communities recover.
