Today, on Firefighters’ National Memorial Day, Kelowna Firefighters pause to remember the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities.

We honour those who answered the call and never came home, and those whose lives were lost because of the lasting effects of the job.

Their courage, service, and sacrifice will never be forgotten. We carry their legacy with us every time we answer the call.

Rest easy. We’ll take it from here.

25 years later, the sacrifice of September 11 continues to be felt.

We remember the 343 firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice that day, the 453 FDNY members who have since died from 9/11-related illnesses, and the nearly 5,000 who have been diagnosed with 9/11-related cancer.

We honour those lost, those still fighting, and every first responder whose life was forever changed by that day.

Never forget.

Our mission doesn’t end at our city limits.

The Bradley Creek, Quilpituk Creek, and Pear Lake wildfires are affecting families and communities across BC.

Yesterday, 25 members of the Kelowna Fire Department were deployed to support wildfire operations.

Wherever help is needed, we’ll be there.

Today, the Kelowna Fire Department proudly graduates 11 new firefighters who have successfully completed an intensive eight-week recruit training program and are now joining our Suppression Division.

Over the past two months, these recruits have demonstrated dedication, resilience, teamwork, and an unwavering commitment to serving our community. They have worked extremely hard to reach this milestone, but as every firefighter knows, this is only the beginning. The real work starts now as they continue to learn, grow, and serve alongside the members of the Kelowna Fire Department.

Please join us in congratulating these firefighters on their achievement and welcoming them to the KFD family and IAFF Local 953
