Public Safety Quebec 3 Minutes Read · published May 24, 2026 Flag of Quebec · By Daniel Roy

Longueuil, Quebec maintains rules and operational guidance for firefighters and public-safety recruitment. This guide explains how volunteer firefighter recruitment and training is organized, which municipal offices are responsible, how bylaws affect candidates, and where to find official applications and complaints. For recruitment details and eligibility criteria consult the city service page linked below.[1]

Check eligibility and fitness standards early in the process.

Recruitment & Eligibility

The city handles volunteer recruitment through its fire service and human resources units. Typical municipal steps include application, physical and medical screening, background checks and training enrollment. Candidates should expect:

  • Complete an application form and submit required ID and résumés to the designated recruitment office.
  • Undergo a physical ability test and a medical assessment when requested.
  • Attend an interview with fire service officers and a municipal HR representative.

If no city form is published for volunteers, the fire service accepts résumés and a municipal application as instructed on the recruitment page.[1]

Training & Certification

Volunteer recruits enter a staged training program covering fire suppression, rescue basics, hazardous materials awareness and scene safety. Training may combine municipal instruction and provincial certification pathways; verify whether the city offers in-house training or directs recruits to provincial providers.

Penalties & Enforcement

Municipal bylaws and the fire service set safety obligations for personnel, equipment and conduct. The controlling municipal bylaw text and the city bylaw listings are the official source for enforcement terms; specific fine amounts and escalation rules are not specified on the cited city pages and therefore are noted as "not specified on the cited page" below.[2]

When a bylaw violation affects public safety, the city may issue orders or require corrective measures.
  • Fines: not specified on the cited page; consult the listed municipal bylaws for exact figures.[2]
  • Escalation: first, repeat and continuing offence procedures are not specified on the cited page.
  • Non-monetary sanctions: orders to remedy unsafe conditions, suspension of municipal privileges, seizure of unsafe equipment, or court referral may apply depending on the bylaw text.
  • Enforcer: By-law Enforcement and the Service de sécurité incendie (fire service) administer compliance and complaints; use the city contact channels on the official pages to report issues.[2]
  • Appeals/review: specific appeal periods and procedures are not specified on the cited page; appeals commonly proceed to municipal review or the provincial tribunal when set in the bylaw.

Applications & Forms

The city may publish an application for recruitment and an information packet for volunteer candidates on its fire service or recruitment pages. If an explicit volunteer firefighter form is not published, submit the résumé and the general municipal employment application as directed on the recruitment page.[1]

  • Submit the municipal application or résumé as indicated on the recruitment page.
  • Book and complete required physical and medical assessments within advertised deadlines.
