Kelowna Professional Fire Fighters Association

Our mission doesn’t end at our city limits.

The Bradley Creek, Quilpituk Creek, and Pear Lake wildfires are affecting families and communities across BC.

Yesterday, 25 members of the Kelowna Fire Department were deployed to support wildfire operations.

Wherever help is needed, we’ll be there.

Coming to Rock the Lake this Weekend?🤘🏼

Be sure to stop by the Kelowna Firefighters Local 953 booth this weekend. Check out the fire truck, meet the crew, and if you’re able, consider making a donation to help support our work in the community. 🔥🔥

Today, the Kelowna Fire Department proudly graduates 11 new firefighters who have successfully completed an intensive eight-week recruit training program and are now joining our Suppression Division.

Over the past two months, these recruits have demonstrated dedication, resilience, teamwork, and an unwavering commitment to serving our community. They have worked extremely hard to reach this milestone, but as every firefighter knows, this is only the beginning. The real work starts now as they continue to learn, grow, and serve alongside the members of the Kelowna Fire Department.

Please join us in congratulating these firefighters on their achievement and welcoming them to the KFD family and IAFF Local 953

Your Kelowna Firefighters Local 953 were to take part in the Memorial Cup parade with the KFD Honour Guard, Pipes & Drums, Ladder 2.

Proud to serve this community on and off the clock. 🚒

This Paramedic Services Week, Kelowna Professional Firefighters Local 953 proudly recognizes our partners at BCEHS for the incredible care they provide our community every day.

Emergency response is built on teamwork. From critical medical calls to major incidents, firefighters and paramedics work side by side to deliver rapid, professional care when seconds matter most.

Did you know? Kelowna firefighters operate up to the scope of Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), with many members also licensed as Primary Care Paramedics. 🚒🚑

Thank you to all paramedics, dispatchers, and frontline healthcare professionals serving our community. 🚒🚑

To the nurses who care, comfort, and show strength every day, thank you.

We’ve got your back. ❤️

Happy International Nurses Day from Kelowna Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 953.

Happy Mother’s Day from the members of Kelowna Firefighters IAFF Local 953. ❤️

Today, we recognize and celebrate all the incredible mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, and mother figures who give so much of themselves every single day.

To the moms working behind the scenes, holding families together through long shifts, missed holidays, late nights, and early mornings, thank you. Your strength, patience, sacrifice, and unconditional support never go unnoticed.

And to the firefighter and dispatch moms serving our community while raising families of their own, we are especially grateful for everything you do both at home and on the front lines.

Wishing all the amazing mothers in our community a safe, happy, and well-deserved Mother’s Day. 🚒❤️
