Each year, a small percentage of fires grow to sizes that require firefighters and resources beyond normal suppression needs. In B.C., 27 highly-trained and coordinated 20-person unit crews are available for deployment to these larger fires.Unit crews establish pumps and hose lines, dig fire guards, use chainsaws, and burn off fuel from the fire's path. Work can take firefighters into difficult terrain amidst dry, hot, and smoky conditions for up to 14 days.When away from their base, they may live in a temporary fire camp with few amenities.Unit crews are highly mobile and can be called away from their base to work on fires anywhere in British Columbia or North America.From BCWilfire.ca

My time as an owner of a Student Works Painting franchise was an incredible learning experience. It was more than the acute skill development that comes with being in charge of your own marketing, sales, and operations; I developed a holistic perspective of what it takes for a business to exist. From first contact with the client through to the quality control of the finished product, being able to practically apply the contents of my degree to the other side of the classroom window - the real world - proved to be a rewarding experience.
