Oliver Lipinski is a three-year-old boy full of self-confidence. So much so, that his young age does not seem to be an obstacle to a dispute over a place in the Parksville Fire Department, Canada.
The boy was passing the barracks with his parents when he told them he wanted to join the firefighters. Fortunately, a recruitment campaign was underway.
Oliver’s parents Kourtney and Chris Lipinke helped their son create a resume detailing his education, experience, and keen interest in firefighting, all based on the information he provided.
With the document in hand and the full uniform of the firefighters, the little boy showed up at the barracks on the last day of the selection process and told Lieutenant Andrew Wersma that he wanted a job.

Impressed by Oliver’s skills, he called him up and paints for an interview.
“Oliver knows fire engines and trucks, can list most parts on a peaceful firetruck, has basic knowledge of hydraulics, doesn’t play with magic because it can start fires, and recognizes most letters and sounds.” The Parksville Fire Department said in a statement.
After a successful interview, the boy got what he wanted: he was ranked in the category of recruit 2034, as a junior member of the firefighters.
As part of his training, he toured the barracks and rides his favorite truck. He also received a red helmet, teddy bear, cookies, and a certificate recognizing his status as an official junior member.
