Maple Ridge Firefighters, IAFF 4449

Join us in congratulating Youth Academy 25-26!

After 30 weeks of hard work, dedication, and hands-on training, our Youth Academy program has officially come to an end this year with graduation day. Throughout the program, participants challenged themselves through physical training, teamwork, leadership development, medical scenarios, live fire training, ladders, and so much more — gaining firsthand experience of what it takes to serve their community.

The skills, confidence, and lessons learned over the past 30 weeks will stay with them long into the future, no matter what path they choose. We are proud of everything this group has accomplished and excited to see what comes next for each of them.

Congratulations again to all of our graduates. We wish you the best on your future endeavors!

Great to have our Mayor, Dan Ruimy, join us for a ride-along today. We appreciate him taking the time to see firsthand the work our crews are doing in the community every day. We thank you for your continued support!

Today is International Firefighters’ Day.
A day to recognize the dedication, sacrifice, and service of firefighters around the world.
On shift today is B Platoon for Maple Ridge Fire Department - part of the team that is on duty 365 days a year, 24/7, protecting our City.
