Answer the call
No experience required. If you have the commitment, we'll give you the training to save lives on our highways.
Is this for you?
Anyone 19 or older who is in good standing in the community is eligible to apply.
It takes real dedication. New members complete a substantial amount of training before they're eligible to go on call. Beyond training, members share the work of keeping our trucks and gear ready, with weekly truck checks to make sure everything works when it's needed.
Once you're on call, you need to be ready at a moment's notice — whether it's 3:00 a.m. at −40° or a sunny long weekend. On-call members need to be within about a 10-minute drive of the hall.
We train twice a week, every week
Training nights are Wednesday and Sunday evenings. Two nights means smaller groups — and more hands-on time for every member.
The Compound
Behind our hall is a training compound where we run real-life scenarios. Every week there's a different vehicle to stabilize, cut apart and learn from.
The Classroom
We study the latest vehicle technologies — new metals, airbag systems, electric and hybrid drivetrains — and the tools and techniques to deal with them.
Low-Angle Rescue
Vehicles go over embankments and into ditches and ravines. We train to reach and free people trapped at awkward angles and bring them up safely.
