What I like the most is, the fact I can do what I’m passionate about, serve my community and do it all for absolutely no personal gain, benefit or monetary value.. absolutely free, with people who share the exact same beliefs.
The reason I joined CBCFR is The family-esqe camaraderie, the opportunity to pursue my passion with others who have the same likeminded interest.

My favorite part of CBCFR is our firefighters, being able to work alongside a group of people who are in the same mission as myself. Dedicated to bettering the community, and willing to sacrifice their lives, time, and resources to provide world class emergency services. I joined because I am passionate about helping others. Initially, my impression was that CBCFR was a paid department. And I went in to apply as such. I was impressed with the quality of people, dedication, and commitment. So, I decided I’d be a part of that same mission. All of us at CBCFR are committed to helping our community and bettering our skills every day.

My favorite part of CBCFR is the brotherhood and understanding among everyone in the department that we all care about each other as a family. I joined CBCFR so that I could better myself, not only as an individual, but as a member of the community that I’m a part of.

My favorite part is The brotherhood. Everyone always looks out for each other. Originally I joined as a Junior Firefighter looking to get more experience before starting my career but now that I am a paid first responder I choose to stay with CBCFR to help give back to the community and help invest in young learning minds like my mentors did for me.

My favorite part about being in CBCFR is how committed the department is to the community and how family oriented the department is. I joined CBCFR because i had a love for the fire service since a young age and had a handful of coworkers who told me nothing about good things about the department.
