Cobourg, ON (November 3, 2023) – The Town of Cobourg Fire Department is seeking interested members of the community to join their volunteer fire team.

The demands and expectations placed on a volunteer firefighter are not unlike those placed on full-time staff. The job requires commitment, devotion, compassion and above all, a desire to serve your community.

New volunteer fire recruits will participate in the department’s comprehensive training program as well as any additional or ongoing training that the department receives.
