Gander Bay Fire Department

06/13/2026

Members of the Gander Bay Fire Department are undergoing Ground Cover firefighting training for structural firefighters, a crucial investment of time that commenced yesterday and will continue today. It is noteworthy that dedicating days to training during the onset of salmon season presents a significant challenge. Kudos to the personnel for prioritizing their training and development.

Hello Firefighters, the Recruitment and Retention (R&R) Committee needs your help filling out the second survey. They have been working diligently to provide a pair of surveys for the NLAFS membership. This second survey is designed for all Firefighters and we need your voice. It can be accessed using the following link:

We recognize that first responder recruitment and retention is on the minds of most Fire Department, therefore we’re asking in this survey that we designed to be completed by individual Firefighters (Part 2).

By participating, you will contribute to building the knowledge your Association needs to identify current Firefighting challenges and opportunities in our province. This will aid the NLAFS in strengthening our three pillars: advocacy, education and member services. NLAFS is pleased to have representatives of Municipalities NL and Professional Municipal Administrators working with us on this important topic.

You can find our committee member listing here:

Always train until you can’t get it wrong.
