Prince Rupert is not the only Northwest community currently seeking members for their fire department.
As we noted in November, Port Edward is currently in the process of recruiting volunteer members for their department.

The Terrace department features a mix of eight full time firefighters augmented by a volunteer core group of 28 to offer fire protection to the community.
