PRINCE GEORGE – The next wave of recruits are hard at work in Prince George training for the BC Wildfire Service.
BC’s Northern Capital is serving as the site of the BCWS new recruit boot camp for the second time in as many years. Previously all new recruits were trained in Merritt.
“It’s a key component of developing a good BC wildfire firefighter,” said Sharon Nickel, Fire Information Officer for the BCWS. “Essentially what boot camp looks like is there’s a lot of classroom components as well as obviously fitness testing and then putting some of that theory that the recruits have learned into practice.”
