K116 Mitch Hope
Deputy Chief, Public Education Officer
Since 2003

I love to spend time with my close friends and family. Being outside is important to me, I enjoy camping, water sports and snowboarding.
I am a Journey Person Electrician, employed by Sasktel as a Facilities Tech.
My passion in the Fire Service is the people. I love interacting with the kids, schools and senior care homes. Teaching fire safety is a passion for me.
Being a member of a Fire Department is not like joining a club or having a second job, it’s a life style. I encourage everyone that likes to help people to apply and see what it’s about, we are always looking for new members.

#37 Adam Wake
Captain
Since 2011

When I get spare time I enjoy spending it with friends and family, travelling/camping, hiking, or at the gym trying to keep fit. I am currently employed by Canadian Energy Services.

I originally joined the fire department as a way to challenge myself and also give back to the community that I grew up in at the same time.

I would encourage others that have considered firefighting, or are looking for a new challenge, to give their local fire department a call and see if there might be a place for them. There are positions for all types of people.

#32 Josh Rissling
Firefighter

Born and raised here in Kindersley, enjoy hiking, exploring and finding waterfalls. The gym quickly became a passion, lucky enough Busted Barbell took me as an employee!  Always had respect for emergency workers and decided firefighting suited me best! One of my best choices was joining this department, it’s a second family.
