Proudly Welcoming New Firefighter-Paramedic Recruits

Today, September 25, 2020, the Saskatoon Fire Department is proud to welcome 12 new firefighter-paramedics to begin serving the residents and visitors of Saskatoon and surrounding area.

“From diverse backgrounds, each recruit has demonstrated great initiative in preparing themselves to proudly serve with the Saskatoon Fire Department,” says Fire Chief Morgan Hackl. “Although our celebration will be smaller and physically distant this year, it is important to recognize their success.”

All 12 of the firefighter-paramedics are certified to the level of Primary Care Paramedic (PCP) and are licensed through the Saskatchewan College of Paramedics. As firefighter-paramedics, they are trained, prepared, and experienced in operating effectively on high-hazard emergency scenes.

These firefighter-paramedics demonstrate the Saskatoon Fire Department’s commitment towards enhanced front-line emergency care and the investment that City Council continues to make in emergency services.

“The Saskatoon Fire Department’s ability to help residents and visitors of Saskatoon in a wide scope of emergencies makes our department a captivating and fulfilling place to work. It also makes our city a great place to live.” adds Hackl.
