Fire Service Medal (10 to 29 years of Service)
The Canadian Volunteer Fire Service Association has developed the Fire Service Award for those who have 10 to 29 years’ service within a Volunteer Fire Department. Anniversary service bars can be added every five (5) years. After 30 years’ service, the individual would transition to the CVFSA Municipal Long Service Award Medal program.
Implementation of the program will commence in October 2024.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Fire Service Award and the Municipal Long Service Award?
The Municipal Long Service Award has been available since December 2013. The criteria for this medal is 30 years’ service. Recognizing many volunteer firefighters are no longer obtaining 30 years of service we wanted to a way to recognize the service of those who serve a minimum of 10 years. The answer was to create the Fire Service Award. The Fire Service Award is only available to those with 10 to 29 years’ service. Once an individual reaches the 30-year anniversary, they would transition to the already existing Municipal Long Service Award. Although the two medals have the same ribbon, the medal itself is Antique Copper (10 to 29 years’ service), Nickel (30 to 49 years’ service) and Gold (50 years and greater service)
Who can be nominated?
Any person who has served as a member of a volunteer fire service for a minimum of 10 years. Retired members with eligible years of service may be considered if their department decides to recognize their years of service.
Who can nominate?
In most cases it will be senior fire officers, primarily Fire Chief, Assistant or Deputy Fire Chief. Community Leadership can nominate senior fire officers. Peer to peer nominations are not accepted.
