Lac La Biche County Fire Rescue (LLBCFR) service is a diverse department with a dynamic team serving the community through a variety of roles. We know that we have a position that will fit your interest and commitment level.
All our positions are paid-on-call (POC). This means that our members are paid for the time they serve. Whether they are responding to an emergency incident, training, or delivering a public education tour of a fire station they are paid for their time. Unlike a part-time or full-time position, a POC position is on an as-need basis.
