Would you be interested in missing out on some nights of good sleep? Gaining respect from strangers, making friends and family proud? Missing out on time with loved ones? Having a new second family that is always there for you? Being present at the worst moment of someone’s life or having an opportunity to make a positive impact for someone in need? Dress up in warm gear and work hard on a hot day but make some extra money? Leave a hot meal on the table but get a cool helmet and rubber boots? Give up a bunch of your free time but put a big smile on a child’s face when driving by in a cool truck?
Our newest Firefighters have been doing a great job, putting their skills from training to good use and making a big difference in their community. Could you be in the next recruit class?

A crew from Station #5 was on stand by in Bowmanville early this week. One of the benefits of a Composite Fire Department (Full-time and Volunteer) is the depth of coverage. We can have good fire protection remain available while multiple crews are operating at an emergency.

A burn ban is in effect for all of Clarington.

On Wednesday, July 15, 2026, Clarington Emergency and Fire Services issued a burn ban for all of Clarington due to poor air quality and reduced visibility from ongoing wildfires in Canada.

The burn ban prohibits all types of burning, including burning on properties with active burn permits and recreational fires.

The ban will remain in effect until further notice.

Fire prevention is the first step in protecting people and property. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to keep our community safe.

Stay cool out there. Check in on elderly loved ones and neighbors that may need a hand to beat the heat.
