New Fire Chief
appointed to Nanaimo Fire Rescue
The
City of Nanaimo is pleased to announce the appointment of Craig Richardson as
the Fire Chief of Nanaimo Fire Rescue (NFR) effective February 17, 2014.
Currently serving as NFR’s Deputy Chief of Operations, Richardson fills the
position that is being vacated by retiring Chief, Ron Lambert.
Chief
Richardson began his career with Surrey (BC) Fire Department in 1990 and joined
NFR as Assistant Chief in 2005. He has a Masters Degree in Leadership &
Training from Royal Roads University and, in addition to his firefighting
experience, is an instructor for fire
and emergency response in municipal and industrial fire departments throughout
Canada and internationally.
“This
department’s greatest strength is its people”, said Chief Richardson. “I’m very
excited about the future and what we can achieve
together”.
“Chief Richardson’s
proven experience and commitment to training are valuable assets for Nanaimo
Fire Rescue”, said Nanaimo City Mayor, John Ruttan. “I look forward to his
continuing service in this critical leadership role”.
There are no plans to
fill the Deputy Chief of Operations position vacated by Richardson. Those
duties will be re-allocated within the current structure of
NFR.
