Our Members
Behind every badge is a dedicated professional who has chosen a career of service. Surrey’s firefighters are not only first responders but also community leaders—working day and night to protect families, businesses, and neighbourhoods.
Together, we embody teamwork, courage, and a deep commitment to keeping Surrey safe.
Commitment to Safety
The Surrey Fire Fighters Association advocates for safe staffing levels to protect both firefighters and the public. Each fire truck is staffed with at least one officer and three firefighters, with higher numbers required in dense or hazardous areas. This ensures effective, coordinated, and life-saving responses.
