The fire department is probably one of the more high profile departments in the Town of High River.

Mayor Emile Blokland says the department is looking for some help. "As our town continues to grow our High River department continues to need new volunteers to help out with the fire department," he says "they're looking for new fire fighters right now, they're accepting applications."

He says you have to be 18-years-of-age and have a high school diploma.

Mayor Blokland says all the training is provided so successful applicants could eventually parlay a part time job into a full time career.

The deadline to apply is February 2nd.
