The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) Board has officially appointed new Fire Chiefs for its volunteer fire departments (VFD), following a resolution made at its May 2 in-camera Board meeting and confirmed in open session.
A call for applications was put to each department’s members following the expiry of the three-year term for their respective Fire Chiefs. This appointment for a three-year term is a long-established practice for the CRD’s volunteer fire departments. The only fire department which has not yet had a Fire Chief confirmed is the Forest Grove Fire Department, and reviews of possible appointees are underway.
The new Fire Chiefs for the 2025-2028 term are:
108 Mile VFD - Chris Haddad
150 Mile VFD - Paul McCarthy
Barlow Creek VFD - David Sugden
Bouchie Lake VFD - Harald Bartel (new)
Deka Lake VFD - Glenn Hiltz (new)
Interlakes VFD - Poul Beer
Kersley VFD - Dennis Syvertsen (new)
Lac La Hache VFD - Eric Herl (new)
Lone Butte VFD - Jon Grieve
Miocene VFD - Quintin Duhamel
Ten Mile VFD - Quinn Miller (new)
West Fraser VFD - Lance Wilkins
Wildwood VFD - Brad Elliott
The CRD thanks all outgoing Fire Chiefs for their dedication and service and looks forward to working with the newly appointed leadership to continue strengthening fire protection in our communities.
