The Fernie Fire Department has 20-25 volunteer firefighters and seven full-time staff, including the fire chief, Ted Ruiter.

Due to an active community and school programs in fire prevention education, the number of fire calls are on the decline.

The fire department is manned 24/7 with a full-time staff, which allows the firefighters to be quick in their responses to calls, and they are able to provide assistance to the ambulance service.

All staff have first response training, which allows them to do basic life support skills, including CPR, using a defibrillator, wound dressing and stabilizing broken limbs.
